GRILLED PORK CHOPS WITH SOUR CHERRY SAUCE



Grilled Pork Chops with Sour Cherry Sauce image

Categories     Fruit     Pork     Backyard BBQ     Cherry     Summer     Grill     Grill/Barbecue     Gourmet

Yield Serves 8

Number Of Ingredients 11

3 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
3 tablespoons sugar
3/4 cup dry red wine
1/4 cup minced shallot
a 3-inch cinnamon stick
1 cup chicken broth
1 pound sour cherries (about 3 cups), pitted
1 tablespoon cornstarch dissolved in 1 tablespoon cold water
2 teaspoons fresh lime juice, or to taste
eight 1-inch-thick boneless pork chops
vegetable oil for rubbing chops

Steps:

  • 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.
  • Pat the chops dry with paper towels, rub both sides of each chop with the oil, and season the chops with salt and pepper. 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.

Tips:

  • To ensure your chicken is cooked thoroughly, use a meat thermometer to check that the internal temperature has reached 165 degrees Fahrenheit (74 degrees Celsius).
  • If you don't have a meat thermometer, you can also check the chicken by cutting into the thickest part of the thigh. The juices should run clear, with no pink or red tint.
  • To make the sour cherry sauce, be sure to use fresh sour cherries. If you can't find fresh sour cherries, you can use frozen or canned unsweetened sour cherries.
  • To thicken the sour cherry sauce, you can add a cornstarch slurry. To make a cornstarch slurry, mix equal parts cornstarch and water in a small bowl until smooth. Then, slowly whisk the cornstarch slurry into the simmering sauce until it reaches your desired consistency.
  • Serve the grilled chicken with sour cherry sauce over rice, pasta, or your favorite side dish.

Conclusion:

This grilled chicken with sour cherry sauce is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a summer meal. The chicken is grilled to perfection and the sour cherry sauce is sweet and tangy. This dish is sure to please everyone at your table.
