Pork Chops with Honey-Plum Barbecue Sauce
Juicy, flame-grilled pork chops meet a bold, fruit-forward barbecue sauce in this summer-ready main. Fresh plums, honey, and a touch of chile garlic sauce simmer into a glossy, sweet-and-tangy glaze with just the right kick. Brushed on the grill and served with extra sauce for dipping, these chops are rich, smoky, and full of seasonal flavor—perfect alongside grilled plums and a peppery arugula salad.

Pork Chops with Honey-Plum Barbecue Sauce
Prep Time40 Minutes
0Cook Time20 Minutes
Ingredients
4 bone-in pork chops
2 Tbs barbecue seasoning
4 plums, peeled and large diced
1 Tbs tomato paste
3/4 cup red wine vinegar
1/2 cup Nature Nate’s® 100% Pure Raw & Unfiltered Organic Honey
1 Tbs chili garlic sauce
2 tsp liquid smoke
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp ground allspice
1/4 tsp ground ginger
Directions
- Sprinkle the pork chops with barbecue seasoning. Refrigerate the meat until ready to grill.
- Add the remaining ingredients to a saucepan. Bring to a low boil.
- Cook for about 10 minutes. Transfer to a blender or use an immersion blender to puree. Pour back into the saucepan. Cook for 10 more minutes or until the sauce reduces by half, deepens in color and is thick enough to coat the back of a spoon. Reserve some sauce for serving.
- Heat a grill to medium. Place pork on the grill. Baste with the sauce. Turn the meat after two minutes, and baste the other side. Continue to baste and turn every two minutes until the pork chops are cooked through. Cooking time will vary depending on thickness. Serve with additional sauce on the side.
Tip: Serve with grilled plums and a simple arugula salad for a complete meal.
