6
ounces cream cheese, softened
-
1
teaspoon ground cumin
-
4
pork loin or rib chops, cut 1 to 1-1/4 inches thick
-
Salt and ground black pepper
-
2/3
cup apricot preserves
-
1/4
cup dried cranberries
-
2
tablespoons prepared horseradish
1. In a small bowl, stir together cream cheese and cumin; set aside. Make a pocket in each chop by cutting horizontally from the fat side almost to the bone. Spoon one-fourth of the cream cheese mixture into the pocket of each chop. Secure openings with wooden toothpicks. Sprinkle chops with salt and pepper.
2. For a charcoal grill, arrange medium-hot coals around a drip pan. Test for medium heat above the pan. Place chops on grill rack over pan. Cover and grill for 35 to 40 minutes or until done (160 degrees F), turning once halfway through grilling. (For a gas grill, preheat grill. Reduce heat to medium-high. Adjust grill for indirect cooking. Grill as above.)
3. Meanwhile, for glaze, in a small saucepan, stir together preserves, cranberries, and horseradish. During the last 5 minutes of grilling, place pan over the heat on the outside edge of the grill. To serve, spoon some of the glaze over the chops. Pass remaining glaze. Makes 4 servings.

While I would give this three stars for myself, the steak and potato cattleman did not like it very well. He said that it was too sweet. While the man will eat almost anything set before him, his preference for meals is pretty traditional. It was pretty messy on the grill because the cheese would ooze out, but everything else went well. I would fix it for myself again if it would freeze well. I doubt it would be a good candidate for the freezer.
