Grilled Pork Chops with Maple-Cranberry Glaze

These grilled pork chops with maple-cranberry glaze offer a sophisticated balance of smoky heat and bright fruitiness. The dish begins with a complex dry rub featuring smoked paprika and chipotle, which creates a savoury crust on the meat. This is beautifully offset by a glossy, vibrant glaze made from pure maple syrup, tart cranberry, and a hint of orange liqueur. It is a fantastic choice for those seeking a dairy-free main course that does not compromise on bold, festive flavours.

Perfect for weekend entertaining or an elevated midweek meal, this recipe works equally well on an outdoor barbecue or a cast-iron griddle pan. The pork rib chops remain tender and juicy under the caramelised coating, making them a crowd-pleasing option for any occasion. Serve these chops alongside roasted root vegetables or a crisp seasonal salad for a complete, balanced dinner that feels truly special.

How to make Grilled Pork Chops with Maple-Cranberry Glaze

Mix all ingredients in small bowl.

Mix first 8 ingredients in small saucepan. Bring to boil over medium heat, whisking until smooth. Cool to room temperature.

Spray grill rack with nonstick spray and prepare barbecue (medium heat). Sprinkle spice rub generously over both sides of pork chops (about 1/2 tablespoons 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.
