Steps:
- Ask your butcher to cut up some inch and half nearly two inch thick bone in pork chops.
- Prepare rub and coat pork chops up to one day before grilling.
- Brown sausage, drain, set aside to cool. Cook down onions in hot oil until slightly brown and translucent. Not looking for the caramelized onions you might put on your burger here. Return sausage to pan, add remaining ingredients for stuffing, heat and then cool to touch.
- Cut center slit in pork chops to the bone, stuff with sausage, onion, fruit mixture. Over stuffing these monsters is okay. A saturated bamboo stick could help hold it together but not necessary.
- Warm marmalade over low heat until slightly liquid form.
- Heat grill to medium high, MOM on a three burner Weber (medium-off-medium) , or about a 7-8 count (hand over heat) for charcoal.
- Grill on indirect heat for 8-10 minutes on first side, flipping and grilling for a remaining 6-8 minutes. This can be one of those times that a fine set of grill marks will pay off big dividends on presentation, so if you're thinking grill marks I am sure you know what to do. When only a few minutes are left coat chop with glaze, being careful not to put on too soon and have sugars burn. Grilling pork can be a personal choice as to when they are done. Because of the moist stuffing, these do not tend to dry out. But with the glaze you can blacken them and give that bitter burnt taste to what was going to be your best meal of summer.
- Check temp of pork chop and remove from heat. Let rest for 5-10 minutes before serving. I might use a tinfoil tent from time to time if I need to stretch out the time before serving.

STUFFED IOWA CHOPS (OAMC)
Taken from the Taste of Home website, this has become a favorite even among those that previously claimed to dislike pork chops. Pretty enough to serve to company, this recipe can be made ahead of time and even frozen. I recommend freezing the sauce separately and adding to chops after they've been in the oven a bit. I also double the sauce and the stuffing mix. People LOVE this. I've frozen this several times with great success. I hope you love this as much as we do.

STUFFED PORK CHOPS
This deconstructed stuffed pork chop recipe is awesome! When I want comfort food, this is the one that I turn to. My husband loves it too! We love the stuffing so much I usually double the recipe for the bread crumb mixture, leave everything else the same. For the bread cubes, French bread works best, not sourdough.

Tips:
- For the best results, use thick-cut pork chops that are at least 1 inch thick.
- To make sure the pork chops are cooked evenly, use a meat thermometer to check that they have reached an internal temperature of 145 degrees Fahrenheit.
- If you don't have a meat thermometer, you can also check that the pork chops are cooked by making a small incision in the center and checking that the juices run clear.
- To prevent the pork chops from drying out, baste them with the cooking juices every few minutes.
- If you are using a stuffing that contains bread crumbs, make sure to soak the bread crumbs in milk before adding them to the stuffing.
- To make sure the stuffing stays in place, use a toothpick or skewer to secure it to the pork chops before cooking.
- You can also bake the stuffed pork chops in a baking dish. Just make sure to cover the dish with aluminum foil to prevent the pork chops from drying out.

Stuffed pork chops are a delicious and easy-to-make meal that is perfect for any occasion. With a variety of stuffing options to choose from, you can easily customize this dish to your own taste. So next time you're looking for a hearty and flavorful meal, give stuffed pork chops a try!
