Recipe: Grilled Pork Chops with Apple-Bourbon Glaze

This tangy-sweet Apple-Bourbon Glaze combines frozen apple juice, bourbon, dark brown sugar, Dijon mustard, and a pinch of red pepper flakes.

Like a little heat? Try this reader recipe made with a jar of jalapeño pepper jelly, white wine, and fresh basil. (Look for red pepper jelly instead of green—both taste great, but green pork chops are a little weird looking.) This simple marinade infuses the pork chops with plenty of sweet heat.
