- In a heavy saucepan boil the vinegar with the sugar over moderate heat until the mixture is reduced to a glaze. Add the wine, the shallot, and the cinnamon stick and boil the mixture until it is reduced to about 1/4 cup. Add the broth and the cherries and simmer the sauce for 5 minutes. Stir the cornstarch mixture, add enough of it to the sauce, stirring, to thicken the sauce to the desired consistency, and simmer the sauce for 2 minutes. Discard the cinnamon stick, stir in the lime juice and salt and pepper to taste, and keep the sauce warm, covered.

Grill the chops on an oiled rack set 5 to 6 inches over glowing coals for 6 to 8 minutes on each side, or until they are just cooked through. Transfer the pork chops to a platter and spoon the sauce over them.

GRILLED PORK CHOPS WITH CHERRY SAUCE
Steps:
- PREPARATION 1. Pat the chops dry, and rub them all over with a mixture of the rosemary, salt, pepper and garlic. Cover, and marinate for up to 2 hours at room temperature, or overnight in the refrigerator. Bring the chops back to room temperature before grilling. 2. Heat one side of a charcoal or gas grill, and put the rack about 4 inches from the heat source. Cook the chops over the hottest part of the fi re until well seared on both sides, about 3 or 4 minutes per side. Move them to the cool part of the grill, cover and cook until done, anywhere from 1 to 10 minutes, depending on the heat of the fi re and the thickness of the chops. The pork is done when it's just fi rm to the touch, its juices run just slightly pink and the meat is rosy in the center, or when an instant-read thermometer registers 135 degrees in the thickest part of the chop (the temperature will continue to rise as the chops rest). Transfer them to a platter, cover loosely with aluminum foil and let them rest while you make the sauce. 3. Put 1 tablespoon of the butter in a skillet over medium-high heat. When the foam subsides, add the shallots, and cook until soft, 2 or 3 minutes. Add the cherries, wine and whatever juices have accumulated around the pork chops; cook, stirring occasionally, until the liquid reduces into a thin syrup, 5 or 6 minutes. Stir in the remaining 2 tablespoons butter, a little at a time, until it's incorporated into the sauce. Season with salt and pepper. Pour the sauce over the chops, and serve. YIELD 4 servings.

Tips:
- Choose the right pork chops: Look for bone-in pork chops that are at least 1 inch thick. This will help them stay juicy during grilling.
- Marinate the pork chops: Marinating the pork chops in a flavorful marinade will help tenderize them and infuse them with flavor. You can use a simple marinade made with olive oil, garlic, herbs, and spices, or you can try a more complex marinade with ingredients like yogurt, honey, or citrus juice.
- Grill the pork chops over medium heat: This will help them cook evenly and prevent them from drying out. If you are using a gas grill, preheat the grill to medium-high and then reduce the heat to medium before grilling the pork chops. If you are using a charcoal grill, build a medium fire and let the coals burn until they are gray.
- Cook the pork chops to an internal temperature of 145 degrees Fahrenheit: This is the safe internal temperature for pork chops. You can check the internal temperature with a meat thermometer.
- Let the pork chops rest for a few minutes before serving: This will help the juices redistribute throughout the chops, making them more tender and flavorful.
Conclusion:
Grilled cherry pork chops are a delicious and easy-to-make meal that is perfect for a weeknight dinner. The pork chops are juicy and flavorful, and the cherry sauce adds a sweet and tangy flavor. This recipe is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
