Pork Chops with Bacon Marmalade

Preheat a charcoal or gas grill, with greased grill grates, to medium-high heat. Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Line a large baking sheet with aluminum foil; set aside.

Pat pork chops dry with paper towels. Season both sides of each pork chop with salt and pepper; rub with olive oil. Place pork chops on the grill and grill for 3 to 4 minutes on each side or until charred. Remove pork chops from grill and place on prepared baking sheet.

Season seared pork chops with parsley, thyme, and sage. Bake for 8 to 12 minutes or until pork chops reach an internal temperature of 145 degrees. Remove from oven and allow to rest 5 minutes tented with aluminum foil.

While pork chops are baking, make Bacon Marmalade: Preheat a large skillet over medium heat. Add bacon to hot skillet. Cook 4 to 6 minutes or until bacon is crisp; drain fat and remove bacon from skillet.

Add chopped onions to same skillet. Saute until onions are translucent, about 3 to 5 minutes. Stir in garlic, orange zest, brown sugar, orange juice, coffee, whiskey, and maple syrup. Bring to a simmer; simmer until thickened and syrupy, about 5 to 10 minutes.
