Instructions

Step 1: Preheat grill to medium-high heat (about 400°F). Season 4 bone-in pork chops with 1 tsp salt and 1 tsp freshly ground black pepper. Brush both sides lightly with 2 tbsp olive oil.
Step 2: In a small saucepan, combine 1/4 cup honey and 1/4 cup whiskey. Bring to a simmer over medium heat and cook for 3 minutes until slightly thickened. Set aside half of this glaze for serving.
Step 3: Grill the pork chops for 4-5 minutes per side, basting occasionally with the honey-whiskey glaze, until internal temperature reaches 145°F and chops are nicely caramelized.
Step 4: Meanwhile, in a skillet, melt 1 tbsp butter over medium heat. Add 1 finely chopped shallot and sauté for 2 minutes until translucent. Add 1 cup Saskatoon berries and 1 tsp fresh thyme leaves; cook for 5 minutes until berries soften and sauce thickens.
Step 5: Spoon the Saskatoon berry sauce over the grilled pork chops and drizzle with reserved glaze before serving.
