1 cup kosher salt
1/2 cup honey
1 cup water
10 juniper berries
2 (6-inch) sprigs rosemary
10 peppercorns
1 bay leaf
2 cloves garlic, smashed
1 (2-pound) rack of pork (pork loin roast with 4 rib bones), frenched (ribs scraped clean of meat and fat), skin-on and scored in a 1-inch diamond pattern
Oil, for pan
1 shallot, chopped
1 Granny Smith apple, peeled and diced

Pinch cayenne pepper, about 1/8 teaspoon

Steps:

  • In a small saucepan over high heat, dissolve the salt and honey in a cup of water. Remove the pan from the heat, and add the juniper, rosemary, peppercorns, bay leaf, and garlic. Let steep until the water cools to room temperature, about 20 minutes. Add the brine mixture to a large container with a lid, and add enough very cold water until you have a gallon. Submerge the pork in the brine and cover a lid. Let marinate, overnight, in the refrigerator.
  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Remove the pork from the marinade, rinse and pat dry, Add a coating of olive oil to an oven-safe pan. Sear the pork until all of the sides are a deep golden brown. Transfer the pan to the oven and roast the pork until an instant-read thermometer inserted in the middle, reaches 150 degrees F, about 20 minutes a pound. Remove to cutting board, tent with foil and let rest for at least 15 minutes.
  • While the meat is resting, prepare the compote.
  • Pear Apple Compote:
  • Drain all but 2 tablespoons of fat from the roasting pan. Put the fat in a medium pan and add the shallots. Saute the shallots over medium heat for 5 minutes. Add all of the remaining ingredients, bring to boil. Reduce the heat to medium and cook the mixture until soft and thickened, about 5 to 8 minutes.
  • Transfer the compote to a serving bowl. Carve the pork into individual chops and serve with compote.

MOMMA PRITCHETT'S GRILLED PORK CHOPS AND APPLE-PEAR TOPPING



Momma Pritchett's Grilled Pork Chops and Apple-Pear Topping image

Well, I have yet to really eat good BBQ pork chops. I was tired of the three or four different baking methods and I decided to try something a bit different. If you are not into sweet, then this probably isn't the recipe for you. I would suggest squeezing a bit of lime juice over the meat in order to break up the sweetness. I have never paid attention to what type of pork chops I had either, I just grabbed and baked...but apparently it is all in the cut of the meat! I also froze a few heads of romaine lettuce for about an hour, divided it up into 8 portions, and added Parmesan cheese and dressing of choice.... MMMM!

Time 1h45m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 cup light brown sugar
1 cup soy sauce
1 cup orange juice
½ cup spicy brown mustard
⅓ cup honey
2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
2 tablespoons ground black pepper
1 tablespoon ground cumin
8 pork chops, 1/2 to 1 inch thick
1 lime, juiced
½ cup butter
1 tablespoon light brown sugar, or to taste
2 tablespoons ground cinnamon
4 large green apples - peeled, cored, and cut into eighths
4 Bartlett pears - peeled, cored, and cut into eighths

Steps:

  • In a large bowl, mix together 1 cup brown sugar, soy sauce, orange juice, brown mustard, honey, Worcestershire sauce, black pepper, and cumin until thoroughly combined and the sugar has dissolved. Place the pork chops into the marinade, and spoon marinade to cover the chops. Let stand at room temperature for 45 minutes to 1 hour.
  • Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat, and lightly oil the grate.
  • Remove the chops from the marinade, and discard marinade. Shake any excess drops of liquid from the chops, and grill until they are browned, no longer pink inside, and show good grill marks, about 8 minutes per side. Squeeze lime juice over the chops as they grill. An instant-read meat thermometer inserted into the thickest part of a chop should read at least 145 degrees F (63 degrees C).
  • Melt butter in a large skillet over high heat, then stir in 1 tablespoon of brown sugar and cinnamon; bring the mixture to a boil, stirring to dissolve the sugar. Stir in the apple and pear slices, and cook, stirring often, until the fruit is coated with the butter mixture and softened but not mushy, about 5 minutes. Transfer the apple and pear slices to a grilling basket.
  • Grill the fruit on the outdoor grill until the slices are browned, about 5 more minutes. Serve grilled fruit with pork chops.
