  • To marinade: Season both sides of the pork chops with salt and pepper, to taste.
  • In a blender, combine the cherry or raspberry balsamic, oil, sugar, garlic and shallot. Process until the mixture is smooth. Transfer the mixture to a large zip-top bag.
  • Place the pork chops in the bag with the balsamic marinade. Refrigerate, flipping occasionally, for at least 4 hours or up to 8 hours.
  • To cook: Preheat an outdoor grill to 375°F. When hot, add the pork over direct heat, searing each side for 2 to 3 minutes. Move the pork so it continues to cook over indirect heat for about 15 minutes more or until internal temperature reaches at least 145°F.
