Pork Chops

When barbequing pork chops, there's nothing better than a sticky, oozy sauce to go with them, and Hot Ginger Fuzz is exactly that. The sweetness from grilled peaches and brown sugar, the kick from habaneros, and that pop of flavour from ginger combine for the perfect topping. Grilling the peaches and the ginger gives you that smoky, charred taste that's essential for pork chops to really sing.

This sauce was made for my wife because she loves peaches — we try to go picking every summer with the kids. It won the Professional Medium Hot Sauce category at the 2024 Royal Agricultural Winter Fair.

How we do it: marinate the chops in water with a bit of salt and sugar for at least 30 minutes before grilling. Pat them dry, sprinkle with pepper or your preferred dry rub. Pre-heat the BBQ to high heat and cook about 3 minutes per side, then drop to medium heat until they reach your preferred doneness. Serve with a splash of Hot Ginger Fuzz.
