I made these but I added homemade condiment that consisted of an apple/onion gastrique . I melted 2 tbsp of butter (o.k, probably 3 tbsp) with 2 tsp cinnamon and a pinch of each nutmeg and cloves. I sliced 1/4 of a walla walla sweet onion and sauteed it in the butter/cinnamon mixture till it was translucent, then added an apple cored and sliced (skin on). I poured in a glug of the pinot grigio being sipped while cooking (sipped : )) then added some fresh sage from my deck herb planter. I cut up about 8-10 leaves and added it to the mix. This was all cooked until JUST tender and served as a side/modern day version of relish to the pork chops. These bbq pork chops were amazing and combined with this gastrique and a salad (also compliments of my herb and salad garden… all grown on my deck in pots) was a great urban version of a farm family meal. Thanks for the inspiration!
