Smoked Rodeo Rub Pork Chops with Champagne Cherry Apple Chutney
These smoked pork chops strike the right balance between comfort and celebration, making them an ideal New Year’s Eve dinner. Thick-cut pork chops are seasoned generously with Rodeo Rub, then slowly smoked until tender and juicy. A quick sear at the end adds a golden crust and locks in flavor, giving each chop a rich, savory finish.
What sets this dish apart is the champagne cherry apple chutney. Diced apples and dried cherries simmer gently in champagne until the fruit softens and the liquid reduces into a glossy, lightly sweet topping. The chutney brings brightness and texture that pairs naturally with the smoky pork, adding a subtle nod to the occasion without overpowering the dish.
