Pumpkin BBQ Pork Chops

4 1 inch thick Pork Chops

Kosher Salt

Freshly Ground Black Pepper

Vegetable Oil

Pumpkin BBQ Sauce

1 Tbsp. Olive Oil

1 Onion, Grated

2 Cups Ketchup

1 Cup Pure Pumpkin Puree

3/4 Cup Chicken Stock

1/4 Cup Brown Sugar

1/4 Cup Maple Syrup or molasses

1/4 Cup Apple Cider Vinegar

1 Tbsp. Chili Powder

2 Tbsp. Worcestershire Sauce

1 Tsp. Garlic Powder

1 Tsp. Onion Powder

1 Tsp. Smoked Paprika

1 Tsp. Pumpkin Pie Spice

1/4 Tsp. Kosher Salt

1/2 Tsp. Freshly Ground Black Pepper

In a medium pot using medium low heat, add in all of the ingredients for the pumpkin BBQ sauce, stir and bring to a simmer. Let it simmer for 20-25 minutes. Making sure to mix constantly. Once it has thickened remove from heat and set aside.

Pre-heat your grill or grill pan to medium high heat.

Pat your pork chops dry and season with salt and pepper. Oil your grill grates or grill pan and cook the pork chops 4 minutes on each side. Or until the internal temperature reaches 140 degrees Fahrenheit.

Base your pork chop with a little bit of BBQ sauce on both side and allow it to caramelize on the grill for another minute or so on each side.

Remove the pork chops from the grill and let them rest for 5 minutes.

Serve with remaining BBQ sauce and enjoy.
