Method
For marinade, mix together sherry wine, balsamic vinegar, onion powder, garlic powder, and cinnamon in a cup or bowl. Place pork chops in resealable bag and pour marinade in. Let this sit in refrigerator at least an hour, flipping once halfway through. Place pork chops on the grill over indirect heat. Mix together the honey, olive oil, and brown sugar. Coat the pork with some of this mixture, but make sure to stir it really well. (Save some of this for later.) After about 15 minutes flip pork over and brush the other side with a little of the remaining honey sauce. In a saucepan melt butter over low heat, mix in the tarragon, oregano, thyme, dill, pepper and lemon juice. Let this sit on low heat. About 15 minutes later brush each side of the pork with the remaining honey sauce. Cook each side on high heat with the sauce on it for 30 seconds. Remove pork chops to serving dish and pour sauce over them.
Notes: You can use more or less of the honey sauce. You can also substitute margarine for butter. Cooking time depends on thickness of the pork chop.
