Steps:
- Shake seasoning onto both sides of chops. Wrap bacon slice around chop and secure with wooden toothpick. Repeat with remaining chops and bacon, set aside. In small saucepan, combine jam, brown sugar, mustard and bourbon, bring to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer 10 minutes. Remove glaze from heat; reserve half the glaze. Preheat barbecue on high. Reduce heat on one side to medium. On lightly oiled grill, sear chops over high heat side, 2-3 minutes per side. Slide chops over to lower heat side. Cook chops an additional 8-10 minutes, turning occasionally and brushing often with glaze. Remove chops from grill when internal temperature reaches 155˚F (68˚C). Tent loosely with foil and allow chops to rest 5 minutes. Remove toothpicks and serve chops with reserved glaze.

GRILLED BOURBON CHOPS
My husband is a grill master and loves a good bourbon, making this recipe the perfect combination of both! Sometimes we use thicker chops. If you do, too, remember to cook them long enough to reach 145. -Donna Bryan, Columbia Falls, Montana

Tips:
- Choose high-quality bacon. Look for bacon that is thick-cut and has good marbling. This will help ensure that the chops are juicy and flavorful.
- Cook the bacon chops over indirect heat. This will help prevent them from burning or drying out.
- Use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature of the bacon chops. They should be cooked to an internal temperature of 145 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Make the apricot-bourbon glaze ahead of time. This will give the flavors time to meld.
- Baste the bacon chops with the glaze during the last few minutes of cooking. This will help them caramelize and develop a delicious flavor.
- Serve the bacon chops immediately. They are best enjoyed hot off the grill.
