Fw: BOURBON-BRINED PORK CHOPS

[Guest guest]

Now that I know Bourbon is legal--here is a wonderful recipe from my DAD. In order to make it legal, you will have to substitute 3 TBS of dark honey for the brown sugar in the recipe.

BOURBON-BRINED PORK CHOPS

4-6 loin chops about 1” thick, boneless preferred

1 onion, sliced thinly

2-3 bay leaves

1 cinnamon stick

3 cloves

10 black peppercorns

5 allspice berries

1 cup hot water plus 2 ups ice water

3 Tbs. each brown (dark preferred) sugar and coarse salt. ( sub 3 tbs. of dark honey for the brown sugar to make SCD legal)

3 Tbs bourbon (Jack s)

2 Tbs. vegetable (canola) oil ( I use light olive oil)

Place the chops in a resealable plastic bag. Add the next 6 ingredients.

Dissolve the sugar and salt in the hot water and add the ice water.

Add the bourbon and oil to the mixture and pour into the bag.

Refrigerate for 22-6 hours, turning the chops hourly

Drain the chops and pat dry. Cook on a greased grill over indirect heat until about 140-

145 degrees. Remove, tent and let rest 5-10 minutes
