Sweet Peach and Mustard Grilled Pork Chops
After a winter that involved a lot of this:
Today, we had this:
and this:
Therefore, it is written in stone somewhere that you must grill on the first day you can wear shorts outside. So we did. We had some pastured pork chops in the freezer and I figured this was a perfect day to grill them bad boys up. So I went inside and whipped up this marinade to put on them and it was perfect. Sweet and savory, perfect with a mixed greens salad with some fruit and balsamic vinegar. They were really perfect for today.
Sweet Peach and Mustard Grilled Pork Chops
What you need:
- 3 tbsp stone ground mustard
- 2 tbsp lime juice
- 4 tbsp organic peach preserve (or 3 tbsp fresh diced peaches + 1 tbsp honey)
- 1 tsp. Worcestershire sauce
- 1/4 tsp. onion powder
- 2 tbsp orange juice
What you do:
- If possible, marinade your pork chops in lime juice and a pinch of salt for an hour prior to grilling.
- Mix all ingredients together to make glaze.
- Place chops on medium-high grill and baste with mustard glaze.
- Cook 4-5 minutes and flip.
- Coat other side with glaze and cook an additional 4-5 minutes.
- If concerned about done-ness, cut one chop and check center for pinkness.
Wow… shorts, huh? I think we had flurries one day this weekend.
Looks DELICIOUS. MMmmm, you’ve inspired me to cook up (or enlist my husband to cook up) some grillin’ meats this week. :)
Your sweetheart is looking skinnier and skinnier! I hardly recognized him.
Yea for grilling!!!! Looks delicious!
Fantastic fun and eating! Love your photo of those chops! :-)

You know, I was just eyeballing the grill today. I didn’t even know Mr. Dawn had retrieved it from the shed, sneaky man. Not that I need a reason to start grilling, but now I have the perfect inaugural recipe of the season!!! Hope you are feeling better :)
Aw, what a cutie!! Your daughter of course … I’m not hitting on your husband … cause you’re from Jersey and I’m from Oregon. I’m not stupid you know :)
Written in stone for sure – I love that! Hence, the reason we really never stop grilling in AZ. It seems like it is almost always shorts weather (except for maybe 3 months of the year). Those pork chops look divine! And your photos are beautiful! Love them.
Oh, and totally cracking up at Alisa’s comment!
