1 cup dark molasses
3 tablespoons Dijon mustard
2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar

2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
For the Lamb Chops
8 rib lamb chops (each about 8 oz, 3/4 inch thick, can also use loin chops)
olive oil, for brushing the chops
kosher salt, to taste
freshly ground pepper, to taste

Preparation

For the glaze: In a small bowl, mix all of the glaze ingredients together until combined.
