Grilled Pork Chops with Summertime Salsa

Fresh peaches and raspberries combine with orange and cinnamon to create a fruity salsa that perfectly complements grilled pork chops.

Recipe Ingredients:

Salsa:
2 peaches, or 3 nectarines, peeled and cut into small cubes (2 cups)
1/4 cup orange juice
1 teaspoon balsamic vinegar
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
2 teaspoons fresh mint, chopped (optional)
1 cup raspberries

Pork Chops:
6 boneless pork chops, 1-inch thick (about 1 3/4 pounds)
1 1/2 teaspoons dried thyme leaves
1 1/2 teaspoons dried rosemary
1 teaspoon McCormicks Grill Mates Montreal Steak Seasoning

Cooking Directions:

1. For the Salsa, mix peaches, orange juice, balsamic vinegar, cinnamon and mint, if desired, in medium bowl. Add raspberries; toss gently. Set salsa aside.
2. Trim excess fat from pork chops. Mix thyme, rosemary and Steak Seasoning. Rub herb mixture on both sides of pork chops.
3. Grill over medium heat 5 to 7 minutes per side or until internal temperature on a thermometer reads 160°F (70°C). Serve pork chops with Salsa.
