Sweet and Spicy Peach Bone-In Pork Chops
Sweet and spicy peach pork chops grilled at 400°F and finished with a habanero peach glaze made from Cellar Door peach jam, coconut aminos, and ketchup. The two-stage glazing method builds a thick, caramelized coating rather than a thin sauce that burns. Season up to 8 hours ahead as a dry brine, pull at 145°F, rest 5 minutes. Thirty minutes total and the best pork chop of summer.

Equipment
- grill
- small sauce pan
Ingredients
Peach Glaze
- 4 oz Peach Jam with Habanero Cellar Door Preserves is my favorite brand
- ¼ cup coconut aminos
- ¼ cup ketchup
- ½ tsp pink Himalayan salt or sea salt
Pork Chops
- 4 bone-in pork chops
- 2 tsp M Salt or any blend of salt, pepper and garlic powder
Instructions
- Season the 4 bone-in pork chops with 2 tsp M Salt evenly on both sides. You can do this up to 8 hours before and place the pork chops in the refrigerator.
Peach Glaze
- In a small sauce pan over low heat place the 4 oz Peach Jam with Habanero, ¼ cup coconut aminos, ¼ cup ketchup and ½ tsp pink Himalayan salt. Place the lid on and let simmer 15-20 minutes.
Grilling
- Let the pork chops come to room temperature while you preheat the grill to 400℉.
- Grill 4 minutes one side, flip and then 4 minutes the other side. Drizzle half the sauce on one side, grill another 3-4 minutes. Flip and drizzle the other half and grill another 3-4 minutes until the internal temperature is 145℉.
- Remove and let rest 5 minutes before serving.
Notes
Season up to 8 hours ahead and refrigerate. Acts as a dry brine for deeper flavor.
Bring to room temperature 20 to 30 minutes before grilling for even cooking.
Two-stage glazing: grill 4 minutes per side unglazed first, then half the glaze on one side, 3 to 4 minutes, flip, remaining glaze, 3 to 4 minutes.
Pull at 145°F — slightly pink center is correct and ideal. Use a thermometer.
Rest 5 minutes before serving.
Glaze make-ahead: Refrigerate up to 5 days. Rewarm before using.
Soy-free: coconut aminos replace soy sauce throughout.
