How to Make Apricot Glazed Pork Chops
- Preheat grill to medium-high heat.
- In a small saucepan, combine 1/2 cup apricot jam, 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar.
- Cook over low heat, stirring constantly, until jam melts completely (about 2-3 minutes).
- Stir in 1 tablespoon soy sauce, 1 teaspoon grated ginger, 1 clove minced garlic, and 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (or to taste).
- Remove from heat and divide the glaze into two small bowls; set aside.
- Trim excess fat from 2 pork chops (about 1 inch thick).
- Lightly brush both sides of the pork chops with 1 teaspoon olive oil.
- Season both sides of the chops with freshly ground black pepper.
- Place pork chops on a preheated, well-oiled grill grate.
- Brush one side of the chops with half of the apricot glaze. Cook for 2-3 minutes.
- Flip the chops, brush the other side with the remaining glaze, and cook for another 2-3 minutes.
- Check for doneness by cutting into the center of a chop. The internal temperature should reach 145°F (63°C). You should see a light pink blush near the bone.
- Remove from grill and let rest for 2-3 minutes before serving.
- Add salt to taste at the table. Serve immediately and drizzle with any remaining glaze.
