Time 35m

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 c strong brewed coffee
1/4 c light molasses, you can use dark if you so choose to
6 fresh thyme sprigs
2 Tbsp cider vinegar
1 Tbsp dijon mustard
2 clove garlic, minced
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp lemon pepper seasoning
1/2 tsp ground ginger
4 bone in pork loin chops ( 1 inch thick)

Steps:

1. In a large bowl, combine the first nine ingredients. Pour 1/2 cu marinade into a large resealable plastic bag; add the chops. ( I use my tupperware marinade container). Seal bag and turn to coat; refrigerate for at least 2 hours. (I leave overnight). Cover and refrigerate remaining coffee mixture until ready to cook.
2. For glaze: Place remaining coffee mixture in a small saucepan. Bring to a boil; cook until is reduced to about 1/2 cup.
3. If grilling; coat grill racks with cooking spray before starting the grill. Drain and discard marinade. Grill chops, covered, over medium heat or broil 4 - 6 in. from heat for 4 - 5 minutes on each side or until a meat thermometer reads 160. Spoon glaze over chops, and enjoy!
