Pork Loin Chops with Peach-Ginger Chutney

A fabulous addition to the "end of summer" bounty of fresh produce that we have.... juicy peaches, spicy ginger, bright verdant thyme, yummm... all topping a thick juicy grilled pork loin chop.  - and of course what would summer be without throwing some crisp and sugary sweet ears of corn on the grill as well?!

Ingredients:
2 medium peaches
1 3-inch piece of fresh ginger
1 large shallot, chopped
2 Tbsp granulated sugar
1-2 large sprigs fresh thyme
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1/3 cup water






    Written Method:
    • Peel, pit, and chop the pieces into chunks about 1" each.
    • Peel the ginger (use the edge of a spoon) and cut into thick coins.
      • use less if you don't want it to be as spicy.  3" of ginger is pretty spicy!!
    • Combine the peaches, ginger, shallot, sugar, thyme sprig fresh thyme
      • do not remove the leaves from the sprig
    • Add a pinch of salt and pepper and the water.
    • Bring to a boil over medium-high heat.
    • Cover, reduce the heat to low, and simmer about 20 minutes.
      • until the peaches have softened (collapsed) and released their juices.
      • stir occasionally
      • adjust liquid and sugar balance as desired
    • Discard the ginger pieces and the thyme sprigs.
    • Cover and set aside.
    • Serve on top of thick grilled pork loin chops.
