Here are the Ingredients you'll need to start making this fantastic barbecue pork chop.

Ingredients

6 pork loin chops (center cut)

1/4 cup of sugar (brown)

1/4 cup of dijon mustard

1/8 cup of soy sauce

1 carrot (finely chopped)

1 celery (finely chopped)

1/2 medium onion (finely chopped)

1 tablespoon of ginger (finely grated)

1 tablespoon of shallots (minced)

1 tablespoon of garlic (minced)

1 pound of fresh cherries

3 cups of chicken stock

2 tablespoons of cornstarch

1 tablespoon of water

3 black peppercorns

3/4 cup of port wine

8 ounces of butter

2 sprigs of thyme

1 bay leaf

salt and pepper to taste

Directions

Start by mixing the sugar, soy sauce and mustard in a bowl then spread the mix over the chops to marinate. Cover it and put it in the fridge for 5 hours. When your ready to cook, put 1 ounce of unsalted butter in a pan. Once It's melted add the carrot, celery, onion, ginger, shallots, garlic, fresh thyme, bay leaves and black peppercorn. Cook them until it turns light brown then add the port wine. This will bring all the flavors together. Keep the heat on until the liquid is thick.

Next add the cherries and cook them until all the liquid is extracted. Add the chicken stock and bring it to a boil then reduce the temperature to simmer for about 40 minutes. Take if off the heat and strain it so you get all the juice. Pour the juice in a pan over low heat and add the rest of the butter an ounce each time. Dissolve the cornstarch in the water then add it to the sauce. Stir in over the heat until the sauce is thick enough to coat the back of the spoon. Season the sauce with sea salt and fresh ground black pepper for flavor.

Get your grill going with some woodchips and charcoal. Grill the pork chops on the grill to the desired doneness. When serving you want to put the sauce on top of them. It can't get any more simple than that!
