Ingredients
- 4 pieces bone-in pork chops
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 cup unsweetened apple juice
- 1 cup fresh cranberries
- 3 tablespoons honey
- 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
- 2 sprigs fresh rosemary (optional, for garnish)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (approximately 400°F/200°C).
Step 2
Pat the pork chops dry with paper towels. Brush both sides with olive oil, then season with salt, black pepper, and cinnamon.
Step 3
In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the apple juice, cranberries, honey, and apple cider vinegar. Bring to a simmer and cook for about 10-12 minutes, or until the cranberries burst and the glaze thickens slightly. Stir occasionally.
Step 4
While the glaze cooks, place the pork chops on the hot grill. Cook for about 4-5 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C). Remove from the grill and let them rest for 5 minutes.
Step 5
Once the glaze has thickened, remove it from the heat. If you prefer a smoother glaze, you can carefully blend it using an immersion blender.
Step 6
Brush the pork chops generously with the glaze just before serving, and drizzle any extra over the top.
Step 7
Garnish with fresh rosemary sprigs if desired and serve warm with your favorite side dishes.
