Apple Thyme Grilled Pork Chops

This recipe produced succulent pork chops with a sweet-tart glaze; the juicy apples with the smoky flavour were bonus.

The marinade of apple and lemon juices, cider vinegar and oil was very quick to put together. I had fresh thyme on hand so used that instead of dried. I had to adjust my cooking method as it was too cold and wet to grill outside; I used a grill pan to sear the chops and apple quarters, then finished them in the oven.

The glaze, made from the boiled marinade, had just enough honey added to counter the sharpness of the lemon. It went very well with the pork without overwhelming it.

Delicious and easy dish but special enough for company.
