Directions for Prickly Pear BBQ Glazed Pork
Lightly season pork with salt and pepper. Place on hot grill and mark on all sides; brush lightly with bbq sauce and rotate; allow sauce to caramelize onto the meat. Place cornbread portion onto grill and cook until grill marks are visible on both sides. Remove pork and cornbread from grill; plate up and garnish each plate with 1 T slaw.

Directions for Prickly Pear BBQ Sauce
Combine all ingredients in a heavy bottomed saucepot and simmer over medium heat until sauce is thick enough to coat the back of a spoon. Reserve for service.

Directions for Red Chile Pecan Slaw
Lightly coat pecan pieces with olive oil and chili powder; roast in 375 oven until nuts are roasted, about 7-10 minutes. In a large mixing bowl combine all ingredients and mix thoroughly. Refrigerate until ready to serve.

Directions for Grilled Jalapeno Cornbread
Sift together all dry ingredients. Mix all other ingredients. Slowly mix other ingredients into dry, stirring to remove all lumps. Pour onto lightly greased sheetpan and bake @ 350 degrees for 15-20 minutes, or until a wooden skewer comes out clean. Portion into 2 oz squares and reserve for service. Toast cornbread on grill just before serving.
