Purple Chops?!

When being creative in the kitchen the blending of flavors is incredibly important weather you are baking or cooking. Lucky for me i've done well with my blending of flavors and sauces (so far, at least).

 As i said in an earlier post, Tuesday is my day for cooking dinner. One Monday evening my Mom reminded me of the fact that the following day was Tuesday so i searched the freezers to see what meat i wanted to use. "...Ground beef..chicken..pork chops..beef roa..pork chops! Lets go with pork chops"! So i set them in the fridge to thaw overnight. As i laid in bed, that evening, i was searching my memory of what i had seen in the freezers/fridge. The usual..milk, butter, lunch meat, cheese, leftovers, condiments/sauces..fruit juice..etc. In my head "..well there are blueberries in the freezer, Ha"! Then it hit me! Pork blends really well with fruits. 

Reader, may i introduce you to The Purple Pork (Chops).

i've made this twice so far and my family really seems to like it.

Purple Pork Chops

Marinade and Dipping Sauce

1. 3/4 Cup of your favorite BBQ sauce. (i prefer Sonny's BBQ)
2. 1/3 Cup of Blueberries.
3. 1/3 Cup of Mango Nectar. 
4. Puree the mixture for about 10 seconds, pulsing every now and then.

Prep and Cooking

1. Use enough of the sauce so that the pork chops have the marinade on each side. You should still have plenty of uncontaminated sauce for dipping later.

Marinate for at least 2 hours.

1. Go turn your grill on!
2. Depending on the thickness of the chops your cooking time will vary, i grilled mine for about 4 or 5 minutes on each side i believe.
3. Let your chops have time to rest off of the grill, by doing this the juices of the meat will settle. If you were to cut right into the meat after pulling it off the grill the juices would run out, leaving your meat more dry rather than the nice succulent bite it should be!
4. Enjoy! i used 6-7 Pork Chops and about a tablespoon of sauce per chop.
