Steps:
- Make salsa
- In medium bowl, toss together all ingredients. Transfer to serving dish and set aside.
- Prepare grill
- If using charcoal grill, open bottom vents. Light charcoal. Leaving about 1/4 of grill free of charcoal, bank lit charcoal across rest of grill so coals are about 3 times higher on opposite side.
- If using gas grill, open hood, light all burners, and set on high. Close hood and preheat 10 minutes.
- While grill is heating, coat chops
- Using electric spice grinder, pulse cumin seeds 2 to 3 times to crack. (Alternatively, place seeds on cutting board and crush lightly with small sauté pan, using gentle rocking motion.) Rub chops with oil, sprinkle with salt and pepper, and coat with cumin seeds, pressing firmly to adhere.
- To cook chops using charcoal grill
- Charcoal fire is medium-hot when you can hold your hand 5 inches above rack over area where coals are piled highest for 3 to 4 seconds. Sear chops on lightly oiled grill rack directly over hottest part of coals, turning over once, until well browned, about 3 to 4 minutes per side. Move chops to coolest part of grill, then cover with inverted roasting pan and grill, turning over once, until thermometer inserted diagonally into center of each chop (avoid bone) registers 145°F, about 12 minutes total. Transfer chops to platter and let stand, loosely covered with foil, 5 minutes (temperature will rise to 150°F). Serve, passing salsa on side.

Transfer chops to platter and let stand, loosely covered with foil, 5 minutes (temperature will rise to 150°F). Serve, passing salsa on side.
CARIBBEAN-SPICED PORK TENDERLOIN WITH PEACH SALSA
I love this recipe because of the depth of flavors and burst of colors. It's quick and easy to make. It's best when peaches are in season, but you could try strawberries or pineapple instead. -Holly Bauer, West Bend, Wisconsin

Tips:

- Make sure the pork chops are completely dry before searing them. This will help them get a nice crust.
- Sear the pork chops over high heat for a few minutes per side, or until they are browned.
- Reduce the heat and cook the pork chops for an additional 5-7 minutes per side, or until they are cooked through.
- Let the pork chops rest for a few minutes before serving to allow the juices to redistribute.
- Serve the pork chops with your favorite sides, such as mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or a salad.
- To make the peach chipotle salsa, simply combine all of the ingredients in a bowl and stir to combine.
- Serve the salsa immediately or store it in the refrigerator for later use.
