Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

Brine:
8 cups water
1 cup coarse kosher salt
1 cup sugar
Pork chops:
6 (1-inch-thick) bone-in rib pork chops
Freshly ground black pepper
Vegetable oil for grill rack
1/3 cup liquid from Sweet and Tangy Peach Relish
Accompaniment:
Sweet and Tangy Peach Relish

Steps:

  • In a wide 6- to 8-quart pot whisk together 8 cups water, salt, and sugar until salt and sugar are dissolved.
  • Add pork chops to brine and let stand at room temperature for 1 hour.
  • Prepare grill for direct-heat grilling over medium-hot charcoal (medium-high heat for gas; see Grilling Procedure below).
  • Remove pork chops from brine, discarding brine, and pat chops dry with several layers of paper towels. Season chops with pepper.
  • Oil grill rack, then grill chops, covered only if using a gas grill, turning over occasionally and moving around if flare-ups occur, until browned, 2 to 3 minutes total.
  • Move chops to area with no coals underneath (if using gas, turn off a burner and move chops to area over shut-off burner) then cover with lid, and grill, turning and brushing with liquid, until thermometer inserted horizontally into center of chop as close to bone without touching it registers 145°F for slightly pink meat, about 2 to 3 minutes longer.
  • Transfer chops to a platter and let stand for 5 minutes before serving.
  • Serve chops with peach relish.
