Ingredients

• 2 teaspoons salt
• 1 cup water
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon dried basil
• 2 cups cider vinegar
• 2 tablespoons chopped fresh mint
• 8 bone-in pork chops
• 1 (12 ounce) package frozen black cherries, thawed
• 0.5 cup white sugar
• 0.5 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat; lightly oil the grate.

Step 2

Whisk together the vinegar, salt, garlic powder, basil, and red pepper flakes in a large glass or ceramic bowl. Add the pork chops and toss to coat. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap; marinate in the refrigerator 6 hours to overnight.

Step 3

While the grill heats, combine the cherries, water, and sugar in a saucepan over medium-low heat. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the sugar dissolves completely, 5 to 10 minutes.

Step 4

Remove the pork chops from the marinade and shake off excess moisture. Discard the remaining marinade.

Step 5

Cook the pork chops on the preheated grill until no longer pink in the center, 8 to 10 minutes per side. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read 160 degrees F (70 degrees C).

Step 6

Drizzle the chutney over the pork chops; garnish with the mint.
