    This is a great way to have pork chops! Of course, we have a picky-eater in the family; the peaches were changed to canned pineapple and the V&O omitted. Freshly-made salsa is so worth it. The salsa gives back moisture lost in the grilling process. I didn't realize how important it is to have grill lines; I can't stress this enough. I used my first ever grill pan (12") on an electric cooktop -- wonderful and so easy. This was our whole meal!
