Number Of Ingredients 1

Brine * 1 1/2 c Apple Cider * 1 1/2 c Water * 3 1/2 T Sea Salt or Kosher Salt * 1 T Sugar * 1 T fresh cracked Black Pepper * 1 T fresh Thyme, minced * 2 cloves Garlic, crushed * 1/2 Bay Leaf * 6 Bone-In Pork Chops or Boneless Loin Chops - (1" thick)

Steps:

  • In a large bowl, combine all of the brine ingredients and stir until the sugar and salt are dissolved. Add in chops, settling them in so they are all covered, then cover bowl with plastic wrap, or combine brine and chops in a resealable plastic bag. Place in fridge for 12-24 hours tossing chops once or twice.
  • In a medium sauce pan, combine all glaze ingredients and gently heat until medium warm. Remove from heat, and set aside 1/2 c of the glaze for final serving.
  • Heat your grill for direct heat. Remove chops from brine, and grill about for about 8 minutes on each side, liberally basting glaze on both sides during the last 3 minutes of cooking. Add the reserved glaze on the finished chops or serve in a bowl for people to use individually.
