Ingredients

• 4 pieces bone-in pork chops
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 1 teaspoon ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon chili powder
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 0.5 cup peach preserves
• 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
• 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
• 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Pat the pork chops dry with paper towels to ensure a good sear. Brush each chop with olive oil on both sides.

Step 2

In a small bowl, mix together paprika, cumin, garlic powder, chili powder, salt, and black pepper. Rub the spice mixture evenly over both sides of the pork chops.

Step 3

Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (about 375-400°F). Lightly oil the grill grates to prevent sticking.

Step 4

While the grill is preheating, prepare the peach glaze. In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the peach preserves, Dijon mustard, and apple cider vinegar. Stir continuously until the glaze is smooth and slightly thickened, about 3-5 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.

Step 5

Place the pork chops on the preheated grill. Cook for 4-5 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reads 145°F on a meat thermometer.

Step 6

During the last 2 minutes of cooking, brush the peach glaze generously over each pork chop, allowing it to caramelize slightly on the grill.

Step 7

Remove the pork chops from the grill and let them rest for 5 minutes to retain their juices.

Step 8

Garnish with fresh thyme leaves, if desired, and serve immediately with any remaining peach glaze on the side.
