Ingredients
- 2tablespoons butter, melted
- ¼cup molasses
- Juice of 1 lime
- 4peaches, halved and pitted
- 1tablespoon olive oil
- 4rib or loin chops, 1½ inches thick
- Salt and freshly cracked black pepper to taste
Preparation
- Step 1
Build a fire in your grill, leaving about ⅓ of grill free of coals.
- Step 2
Mix butter and molasses together well. Add lime and set aside. Rub cut side of peaches with oil.
- Step 3
Sprinkle chops and peaches generously with salt and pepper. When coals are covered with gray ash and fire is hot (you can hold your hand 5 inches above coals for only 1 to 2 seconds), put chops on grill directly over coals. Put peaches on grill along edge of coals.
- Step 4
After 4 minutes, flip chops and cook for 4 minutes more, then move chops to part of grill with no coals. Cover them with a disposable foil pan, and continue to cook for 8 to 10 minutes more for medium.
- Step 5
When you move chops, flip peaches over. During last 2 minutes of cooking, coat peaches liberally with molasses-butter mixture. Remove from grill and serve.

I cut the peaches into quarters as well as they weren't freestone and wouldn't come off the pit in halves. I substituted maple syrup for molasses as I find the latter too sweet. And glazed the pork chops as well. There was twice the glaze than necessary. It was excellent!
Delicious! Served with polenta w lots of fresh corn and mascarpone.
wow. I was skeptical. This was delicious. Ditto on basting the pork chops
Delicious! Used the glaze on the pork too. Soooo good! The peaches are transcendent!
