My girlfriend shared this delicious recipe with me. Her peach trees were bursting with fruit, and she wanted to find a use for the succulent peaches besides pie, cobbler or canning. Now my family begs for these delicious chops!

2 tablespoons apple jelly
1-1/2 teaspoons minced fresh tarragon or 1/2 teaspoon dried tarragon
1 teaspoon white wine vinegar
1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
4 bone-in pork loin chops (7 ounces each and 3/4-inch thick)
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper

Directions

In a small saucepan, combine the first five ingredients. Cook and stir over medium heat for 3-4 minutes or until jelly is melted. Remove from the heat and set aside.
Sprinkle chops with salt and pepper. Grill, covered, over medium heat for 4-5 minutes on each side or until a thermometer reads 145°. Let stand for 5 minutes before serving. Serve with compote.
