Ingredients
- Pork Chops:
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1 1/2 tablespoons Frontier Co-opĀ® Smoked Paprika
- 1 1/2 teaspoons Frontier Co-opĀ® Sea Salt
- 3/4 teaspoon Frontier Co-opĀ® Black Pepper
- 1 1/2 teaspoons Frontier Co-opĀ® Onion Powder
- 1 1/2 teaspoons Frontier Co-opĀ® Garlic Powder
- 1/4 teaspoon Frontier Co-opĀ® Cayenne (optional)
- 4 bone-in pork chops
- Vanilla Blueberry Balsamic Sauce:
- 2 cups fresh or frozen blueberries
- 1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
- 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary, finely chopped
- 1 tablespoon fresh thyme, finely chopped
- 1 teaspoon Frontier Co-opĀ® Pure Vanilla Extract
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1/4 teaspoon Frontier Co-opĀ® Black Pepper
Directions
- Preheat two separate zones on your grill, one at high heat and the other at medium heat.
- In a small bowl, combine brown sugar, smoked paprika, salt, pepper, onion powder, garlic powder and cayenne. Sprinkle spice mixture evenly over pork chops, then rub it into both sides of chops.
- Place chops on high-heat section of grill and sear for about 3 minutes per side; transfer to medium-heat section and continue cooking, turning periodically, for another 5 to 8 minutes or until internal temperature in thickest part of chop reaches 145 degrees. Remove from heat and let rest for 5 minutes.
- Meanwhile, into a saucepan over medium heat, add all Vanilla Blueberry Balsamic Sauce ingredients. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and let simmer for 5 to 7 minutes, stirring often, until blueberries pop and release their juices. Remove from heat and serve warm over chops.
