Ingredients for Sage-Smoked Pork Chops
Chunky Applesauce, see below
Salt
4 pork center-cut loin chops, about 1 inch thick
Freshly ground black pepper
Several fresh sage sprigs

Ingredients for Chunky Applesauce:
2 lbs. tart red cooking apples
2 tablespoons butter or margarine
1/2 cup water
1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
1/4 cup sugar
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice

Preheat grill; position a wire rack 4 to 6 inches from heat. Prepare Chunky Applesauce. Rub both sides of chops with salt and pepper; place seasoned chops on rack.

Place sage sprigs on rack beside chops. Cover grill; cook pork chops 15 minutes or until no longer pink inside, turning occasionally. Cook slightly longer if you like pork well-done.

Remove cooked meat to a warm platter. Garnish with fresh sage. Serve pork chops with Chunky Applesauce. Makes 4 servings.

Chunky Applesauce:
Cut apples into 1/2-inch chunks. Place in a heavy saucepan suitable for cooking on a grill. Add water, sugar, lemon juice, butter or margarine, cloves and cinnamon.

Place on grill; cook 30 minutes or until apples are tender, stirring occasionally and adding more water only if there is no liquid in pan. Drain any excess liquid from cooked applesauce; stir with a fork to break up apples slightly. Sauce will be coarse. Taste and adjust seasonings. Spoon cooked applesauce into a serving dish. Makes 3 cups.
