Steps:
- Boil one cup of the water and stir in the salt and honey to dissolve. Add this to the remaining cold water.
- Add the juices, zest and spices and stir to combine. Chill in fridge until mixture is cool. (a quicker method to cool the brine is to add a few ice cubes.)
- Place the chops in a non-reactive container and pour the brine over.
- Place in fridge and allow the meat to brine for 6-12 hrs.
- About 30 min. before you're ready to cook, take the chops out of the fridge, rinse them well and let them sit at room temp.
