Great Recipe from Stan ( The Texas Chef ) - I made this recipe today!! AWESOME and RAVE REVIEWS over here!!! Make sure to stop by his page! Diane TEXAS RED CHILI ..."The recipe that I am including here is for what is normally called “Texas Red” and yes I do add pork. Some will say that is not true Texas red and they may be right, but I was raised on a real working Texas cattle ranch in the heart of Texas and we put pork in our chili. The point that I am trying to make, is there are literally thousands of recipes for chili and I don’t really believe that any one is necessarily better than the other. No matter how you make it...Chili is good... So with all of that being said …..Let’s make some chili..."

Enjoy! Diane Grilled Pork Chops with Atomic Roasted Cherry BBQ Sauce ****************** Pork Chop: Boneless Pork Chops Olive Oil Salt & Pepper Instructions: lightly brush both sides of pork chops with Olive Oil (I use extra light olive oil which has a higher smoke point) sprinkle salt & pepper as desired over both sides of chop, set out at least 30 mins before grilling. Brush BBQ sauce onto chops the last 5mins of grilling/cooking time. Sauce can be served on the side as well. ****************** Atomic Roasted Cherry BBQ Sauce Ingredients 1 pound fresh sweet cherries, pitted and halved (just about 2 1/4 cups halved cherries) 2 tablespoons butter 1 onion, diced 2 cloves garlic, minced 1 8-ounce cans tomato sauce 1 small can rotel tomatoes with green chilies ½ cup packed light brown sugar ⅓ cup molasses ¼ cup apple cider vinegar ¼ cup apple juice 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce 1 tablespoon prepared mustard 1 teaspoon salt ½ teaspoon black pepper 2 Tbs lemon juice Instructions Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Place the cherries on the prepared baking sheet, cut-side up. Roast for 30 minutes. Remove from oven and set aside. Melt butter in a large, heavy-bottomed pot over medium-high heat. Add the onion and sauté until translucent. Add the garlic and cook for another minute. Add the cherries and remaining ingredients to the pot. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low and simmer for 20-30 minutes, stirring occasionally, until slightly thickened. Remove from heat and blend using an immersion blender until smooth. Check the thickness of your sauce. If you would like it thicker, return to the heat and simmer for another 10-20 minutes until your desired thickness. Allow to cool; pour into jars and store in the refrigerator. Makes 24oz. **can be water-bathed with 1/4" headspace and for 20 mins (adding time for altitude, check your local regs) Recipe Adapted by: Diane Baker Photos by: Canning and Cooking at Home *original recipe at: EatYourHeartOut #grilling #cherry #bbq I normally use a pork tenderloin but, since the chops were less fatty and on sale, I wanted to see if I could get great tasting sandwiches using chops. These were awesome! I love using my slow-cooker on the weekends when we are busy. I can rely on a great meal with not a lot of fuss! I usually butter and toast the buns too - gives an added flavor to the sandwich. I hope you make this and remember - you can always use your own favorite BBQ sauce.
