Grilled Spice-Rubbed Pork Chops With Peach Glaze

MarthaStewartWanabe's Note:

This recipe is so simple and delicious--a lovely combination of sweet and savory for grilled pork chops. The pork chops are seasoned with smokey spices and topped with peach jam to compliment these spices. I like to garnish each serving with fresh peach slices to add a little extra "zing".

I melted the jam and all the spices together in the microwave and used it to baste as I cooked them on my stove top grill. Very good. Thank you.
