Raspberry Marinade/Glaze
- 20 raspberries rinsed and dried
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt or 3/4 teaspoon fine sea salt
- 3 ½ tbsp olive oil or avocado oil

Instructions
- Dry the pork chops thoroughly. Add to a container or dish.
- Reserve ⅓ of the marinade for glazing during grilling and for serving. Pour the remainder of the marinade over the pork chops. Turn several times to coat and pork holes with the tines of a fork. Cover and refrigerate.
- Remove from the refrigerator 30-45 minutes prior to grilling. Divide the reserved glaze between two small ramekins.
- When ready to grill, heat the grill to 400 degrees with several burners lit. Brush the grill with vegetable or avocado oil. Set the chops on the oiled grill. Turn the burners down to medium low under the chops. Add a small amount of the marinade to the top of the uncooked side of the chops. Then discard the marinade. Grill 4-5 minutes, turn ninety to make char marks. Grill for 2 minutes more on the first side before turning.
- Add one half of the reserved glaze to the tops of the while grilling for 3-6 minutes more. Remove to a clean dish when an instant meat thermometer registers 149-150℉. Warm the remaining reserved "clean" glaze in the microwave. Then add to the top of the pork chops and scatter raspberries across to serve.
Raspberry Marinade/Glaze
- Stir together all the ingredients in a small bowl. Crush the berries with a fork until only small pieces remain.
Notes
Grill tip:
Because of the sugar in the marinade, the pork may burn a bit if you close the lid and walk away. They don't take long to grill, so I normally stay pretty close to the grill to keep watch.
Grilling time will vary, depending on the thickness of the pork chops and the grill temperature.
