Grilled Pork Chops with Dried Cherry Port Sauce

by Greg Flores

Juicy grilled pork chops are paired with a rich, sweet-tart sauce made from Bargetto Port Wine and dried cherries. Simmered until thick and glossy, the fruit-forward sauce adds a luxurious contrast to the savory pork and makes a perfect accompaniment to creamy mashed potatoes and crisp green beans.
