Ingredients

Vegetable oil, for grill grate
Kosher salt
1 tablespoon chili powder
1 tablespoon packed light brown sugar
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
4, 1 1/2-inches thick double-cut bone-in pork loin chops (about 1 pound each)
2 large ripe peaches, quartered and pit removed
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1/2 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
1/4 cup finely chopped red onion
Finely grated zest and juice of 1 lime
1 tablespoon chopped fresh herbs, such as chives, parsley, or mint)
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper

Steps:

1. For the pork: Preheat a grill to medium and lightly oil the grate. In a small bowl, mix 2 teaspoons kosher salt, chili powder, brown sugar, and cinnamon. Divide mixture evenly among chops and rub all over.
2. Place the chops on hot grate over the flame and grill until marked and cooked halfway through, about 10 minutes. Turn the chops and move to a cooler area of the grill; cover and cook until a thermometer inserted into the thickest part registers 140 degrees F to 145 degrees F, about 10 minutes. Transfer chops to a cutting board and rest for 5 minutes.
3. For the salsa: Meanwhile, brush the peach quarters with 1 teaspoon oil and place on the grill until marked and softened, 2 to 3 minutes. Roughly chop the peaches, about 3/4-inch pieces, and place in a medium bowl along with the tomatoes and red onion. Add 1/4 teaspoon zest to the bowl along with the lime juice, about 4 teaspoons. Add the herbs, and season with salt and pepper. Serve the chops with the salsa.

Ingredients

1 ½ cups lemon juice
1 ½ cups honey
2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
1 clove garlic, minced
¼ teaspoon dried basil
4 center-cut pork chops, 1/2-inch thick
salt and ground black pepper to taste

Steps:

Mix the lemon juice, honey, Worcestershire sauce, garlic, and basil together in a bowl. Pour about half the marinade into a resealable plastic zipper bag, and place the pork chops in the bag. Squeeze out the air, seal the bag, and refrigerate for at least 2 hours (overnight is best). Refrigerate remaining marinade for basting.
Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat, and lightly oil the grate.
Remove the chops from the bag, and discard the used marinade. Sprinkle chops with salt and black pepper. Grill the chops until browned and the meat is no longer pink inside, 20 to 25 minutes. Baste frequently with the reserved marinade, being sure to let the mixture cook onto the chops. An instant-read meat thermometer inserted into the center of a chop should read at least 145 degrees F (63 degrees C).
