Provided by Virginia Willis

Time 1h30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

2 tablespoons canola oil
1 sweet onion, finely chopped
1 clove garlic, finely chopped
One 1-inch piece fresh ginger, peeled and grated
1 1/2 cups ketchup
1/2 cup peach jam
2 ripe peaches, pitted and cut into 3/4-inch chunks
2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
Coarse kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
3/4 cup dark brown sugar
1/4 cup kosher salt
2 cups boiling water
3 cups ice cubes
4 bone-in pork loin chops (1 1/2 to 2 pounds)

Steps:

Place a medium saute pan over medium heat and add the oil. Add the onion and cook until translucent, about 2 minutes. Add the garlic and ginger and cook until fragrant, 45 to 60 seconds.
Add the ketchup, peach jam and peaches. Reduce heat to low and simmer until the sauce thickens, about 30 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add the vinegar and season with salt and pepper. Remove from the heat and set aside to cool.
Meanwhile, in a medium heatproof bowl, dissolve the brown sugar and kosher salt in boiling water, then stir in the ice cubes to cool. Add the pork chops, cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate about 30 minutes. Remove the pork chops from the brine, rinse them well and dry thoroughly with paper towels.
Pour half the barbecue sauce into a shallow baking dish; reserve remaining sauce. Add the pork chops, turning to coat both sides.
Prepare a medium-hot grill or grill pan. Grill the chops until cooked through, about 5 minutes per side, basting chops with barbecue sauce. Remove from the grill and let stand 5 minutes before serving. Serve with the remaining sauce.

Categories Sauce Fruit

Yield 4 Cups

Number Of Ingredients 13

1/2 cup firmly packed brown sugar
1 Tbs. onion salt
2 tsp. freshly ground black pepper
1 tsp. garlic powder
1 tsp. ground ginger
1/4 tsp. ground cloves
1/4 tsp. ground mace
1/3 cup white vinegar
2 cups tomato ketchup
1 cup peach preserves, puréed
2 Tbs. Worcestershire sauce
2 Tbs. honey
4 Tbs. butter, cubed and well chilled

Steps:

In a medium saucepan, combine all the ingredients except the butter. Bring to a boil, stirring to dissolve the sugar. (You may want to have a lid handy to protect yourself and your kitchen from any sputtering.) Reduce the heat and simmer for 25 minutes, stirring occasionally. With a whisk, blend in the butter cubes, a couple at a time, until incorporated. This is the sweetest of the three sauces for barbecued chicken. You can add a tablespoon or so of peach liqueur for more peach flavor.
