Butterfly chops

I was defrosting a freezer a few days ago and ran across some butterflied pork chops I'd picked up on sale many moons ago, and decided it was probably time to do something with them. And on a beautiful evening like this, what self-respecting Weber owner wouldn't want to go outside and light some charcoal? Ok, actually a sane one would pack and move to Florida.

At least there's something warm.

Nothing much fancy in this part, just a bit of salt & pepper.

Putting a little sear on.

Meanwhile, I put some balsamic vinegar and wine in a skillet and reduced it a bit. Then cut up a couple pears, added half a stick of butter to the pan, and cooked the pears to make a sauce for the chops.

And blueberry cheesecake for dessert. Stay warm out there!

Nicely done, Clay! Your sauce for the chops sounds exceptional. Love the action shot with the glowing coals.
 
I think I had at least six varieties in the sweet corn patch, Bob. We froze something like 70 quarts, so I couldn't begin to tell you which one was in that freezer bag.
