Instructions

Preheat your grill to medium-high, then lightly brush the grill grates with vegetable oil.
In a small saucepan, combine the pepper jelly, cider vinegar, and thyme. Warm over low heat, stirring until the jelly melts completely. Set aside half of this glaze for serving later.
Season the pork chops on both sides with ground coriander and 1/2 teaspoon each of salt and black pepper. Grill until they develop strong grill marks and a nice char, about 6 minutes. Flip and continue grilling for another 4 to 5 minutes, or until just a hint of pink remains near the bone, while brushing generously with the remaining glaze several times.
Move the pork chops to a cutting board and let them rest for around 5 minutes. Plate with the reserved glaze and your choice of boiled potatoes and/or corn on the cob.
