tony b Posted December 28, 2016 Report Share Posted December 28, 2016 Did a bit of a throwdown tonight. Wanted to try the new peach rub and sauce on some pork chops, so I decided to pair it up with my favorite cherry rub and sauce. Here's the setup. Onto the grill, direct heat with a chunk of apple wood (didn't want to bias the cook with either cherry or peach wood). At the end of the cook, I basted each side with their respective sauces (about 5 minutes on each side). And done. Plated with some SV mashed potatoes (Success - FINALLY!!) and roasted Brussels Sprouts w/a drizzle of good Balsamic. Cheap Trader Joes Syrah to go with. Money Shot. So, in the head to head, I'd give a very slight edge to the Peach rub/sauce combo over the Cherry. It wasn't a big difference, just tonight, I preferred the Peach. And, in the end, all I can say is - Damn, this is fun!! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MacKenzie Posted December 28, 2016 Report Share Posted December 28, 2016 Cherry or peach that is a tough one, I'm sure I'd love either or both.:) How did you do your SV potatoes? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ckreef Posted December 28, 2016 Report Share Posted December 28, 2016 Looks good. I see you got the peach rub like I sent Aussie. They also make a cherry version. Will have to stop by there this week and pick some up. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Welch's Country Smokehouse - a local Macon butcher that makes and sells rubs and sauces. They have a web site you can order from. That is their Peach Brandy BBQ Rub. It's good stuff. I have some and I sent Aussie a bottle a while back. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tony b Posted December 28, 2016 Author Report Share Posted December 28, 2016 Sorry about the fuzzy labels - I was using the camera phone. The cherry rub and sauce are Billy Bones Triple X. http://www.billybonesbbq.com/index-1.html Ckreef hit the nail on the head with the Welch's peach rub and I got the sauce on their website, too. I give them a @MacKenzie - 3 Small dice red potatoes (peeled) with 2 TB butter and seasonings in the SV bath @ 193F for about 90 minutes. I turned off the Anova around 75 minutes, but left the bag in the bath to stay warm while I cooked the chops. Hand mashed with some added sour cream, 1/2-n-1/2, and roasted garlic to the butter mix in the bag. Happy!! Next time, even more butter! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
