Yield Makes 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 22

Spice rub
1 tablespoon sugar
1 tablespoon hot smoked paprika (Pimentón de la Vera)*
2 teaspoons seasoned salt
2 teaspoons dry mustard
2 teaspoons fine sea salt
2 teaspoons celery salt
2 teaspoons garlic salt
2 teaspoons ground black pepper
1 teaspoon onion powder
1 teaspoon ground chipotle chile powder or ancho chile powder
Glaze
3/4 cup jellied cranberry sauce (about half of one 16-ounce can)
1/2 cup pure maple syrup
1/4 cup cran-raspberry juice
2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
1 tablespoon triple sec or other orange liqueur
1 1/2 teaspoons grated orange peel
1/4 teaspoon fine sea salt
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
Nonstick vegetable oil spray
8 3/4-inch-thick center-cut pork rib chops

Steps:

  • For spice rub:
  • Mix all ingredients in small bowl.
  • For glaze:
  • Mix first 8 ingredients in small saucepan. Bring to boil over medium heat, whisking until smooth. Cool to room temperature.
  • Do ahead: Spice rub and glaze can be made 1 day ahead. Cover and store spice rub at room temperature. Cover and refrigerate glaze. Rewarm glaze just until pourable before using.
  • Spray grill rack with nonstick spray and prepare barbecue (medium heat). Sprinkle spice rub generously over both sides of pork chops (about 1/2 tablespoon per side), pressing to adhere. Place pork chops on grill, cover, and cook 5 minutes per side. Brush generously with glaze. Move to cooler part of grill and continue to grill, uncovered, until cooked through, brushing frequently with glaze, about 3 minutes longer per side.

I followed the recipe exactly and the pork chops turned out dry and overcooked. I'm not sure what went wrong.

These pork chops were delicious! The glaze was the perfect balance of sweet and savory, and the pork was cooked to perfection. I will definitely be making this recipe again.

The glaze was a bit too sweet for my taste, but the pork chops were cooked well.

I'm not a big fan of pork chops, but these were really good. The glaze was so flavorful and the pork was cooked perfectly.

This recipe is a keeper! The pork chops were cooked perfectly and the glaze was amazing. I served it with roasted potatoes and green beans, and it was a perfect meal.

I used bone-in pork chops and they turned out so tender and flavorful. The glaze was easy to make and added a wonderful depth of flavor to the pork.

These pork chops were a hit with my family! The maple-cranberry glaze was the perfect combination of sweet and tangy, and it really complemented the juicy pork. I will definitely be making this dish again.
