I never thought to add fruit to barbecue sauce, but after I saw a contest-winning recipe with the two, I decided to try something similar with pork. I'm glad I didâthis turned out to be a family favorite! Ingredients:
2 tablespoons butter |
2 medium onions, finely chopped |
1-1/4 teaspoons salt, divided |
1/2 teaspoon pepper, divided |
1 cup strawberry spreadable fruit |
1/4 cup port wine or chicken broth |
2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar |
1/2 teaspoon ground mustard |
1 cup grape tomatoes, halved |
2 tablespoons minced fresh basil |
2 teaspoons lime juice |
8 pork rib chops (1 inch thick and 8 ounces each) |
Directions:
1. In a large skillet, heat butter over medium-high heat. Add onions, 3/4 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper; cook and stir until tender. Stir in spreadable fruit, wine, vinegar and mustard. Bring to a boil; cook and stir 3-4 minutes or until slightly thickened. Add tomatoes; cook 2-3 minutes or until softened. Stir in basil and lime juice.
2. Moisten a paper towel with cooking oil; using long-handled tongs, rub on grill rack to coat lightly. Sprinkle chops with remaining salt and pepper. Grill, covered, over medium heat or broil 4 in. from heat 4-6 minutes on each side or until a thermometer reads 145°. Let stand 5 minutes before serving. Serve with sauce. Yield: 8 servings (2 cups sauce).
