Peach-Glazed Grilled Chicken recipe

Peach-Glazed Grilled Chicken recipe 2

When I first looked at this recipe I thought, It looks OK, but it was much better than that. The peach preserves, fresh peach, along with a little heat from a jalapeno and cayenne pepper turned this dish into a delicious combination of flavors. It does take a little time to prepare because of the brine time, but it is well worth the effort.

Fire up the grill and give this one a try – it’s really good!

chanterelle mushrooms recipe

Foraging for mushrooms is one of my favorite hobbies this time of year. With the right amount of moisture they are very plentiful. I was out doing a training session with a new English setter puppy we purchased for bird hunting when I came across a large batch of Chanterelle mushrooms. That ended my training session in a hurry; I took the dog back to the house, grabbed a knife, and went for the mushrooms. Chanterelle mushrooms are one of my favorites.

This is a simple and quick sauteed mushroom recipe that is delicious over grilled steak. If you have fresh Chanterelle mushrooms available, wild or domestic, give this one a try they are really good!

grilled smoked pork chops recipe

Adding smoked flavor to your grilled food can be a nice added touch. This Gas Grill Smoked Pork Chops Recipe adds a nice lightly smoked flavor to the pork chops complimented by a delicious homemade barbeque sauce. The pork chops for this recipe are thick cut to allow enough time for the pork to absorb the smoked flavor before they are finished cooking.

Fire up the grill, place a packed of soaked wood chips between the grate and the burner, and you are ready to create your own smoke flavoring using your gas grill.

This is a simple recipe, and fairly quick. Create the BBQ sauce while your pork chops are smoking – just be sure to use thick cut chops to allow enough smoking time before the chops are done.

Ingredients
  • Ingredients for sauce
  • ½ cup ketchup
  • ¼ cup molasses
  • 2 tablespoons grated onion
  • 2 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 2 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 2 tablespoons cider vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon light brown sugar (packed)
  • Ingredients for Pork Chops
  • 2 cups wood chips (soaked in water for at least 30 minutes)
  • 4 bone in pork chops (cut 1 ½ inch this) original recipe calls for rib chops – they were not available so I used sirloin chops.
  • 2 teaspoons salt
  • 2 teaspoons pepper
  • Vegetable oil
  • Heavy Duty Aluminum foil to crate packet for wood chips.
Instructions
  1. Using a piece of heavy duty aluminum foil place the wood chips in the center and form the foil into a closed packet around them. Using a knife cut slits in the top of the packet to release the smoke. Place the packet between the primary burner and cooking grate. Preheat and prepare the grill on high heat until foil packet starts to generate smoke. Reduce primary burner to medium high heat and shut all other burners off.
  2. Brush chops lightly with cooking oil and season each one with ½ teaspoon salt, and pepper. Place chops on cool side of grill, close cover, and smoke chops for about 20 minutes, or to an internal temperature of 120F.
  3. While chops are cooking mix all sauce ingredients together in a medium size sauce pan. Bring mixture to a boil, reduce heat medium, and continue cooking, stirring occasionally, until mixture starts to thicken. Remove ½ cup of the sauce, and set it aside for a serving sauce.
  4. Brush chops with sauce, and turn the burners under the chops to medium high heat. Continue brushing and turning chops until sauce is used up and chops are slightly charred. Cook to and internal temperature of 145F. Remove chops to a serving platter, tent with aluminum foil, and let rest 10 minutes before serving.
  5. Serve with reserved sauce.
