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.

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.
