Name: Grilled Pork Chops with Apple-Cranberry Glaze
Prep time: 15 min
Cook time: 16 min
Total time: 31 min
Ingredients: 1 tablespoon cracked black pepper; 1 tablespoon sugar; 2 cups apple cider; 2 cups water; 6 allspice berries (dry spice); 1/2 bay leaf; 1/2 tablespoon thyme leaves (dry spice); 1/2 teaspoon minced garlic (dry spice); 1/16 teaspoon red pepper; 2 tablespoons spicy brown mustard; 6 bone-in pork chops or boneless loin chops, (1-inch thick); 1/4 teaspoon black pepper; 1/4 teaspoon salt; 1/2 cup apple sauce; 1/2 cup cranberry sauce; 1/2 cup maple syrup

Let's get grilling

1 Mix brine ingredients and stir well. Place chops in brine and refrigerate for 12–24 hours.

2 In a small pan, add sauce ingredients and mix well. Heat until mixture is warm. Reserve 1/2 cup of sauce for plating.

3 Build a charcoal fire for direct grilling. Grill chops directly over coals (approximately 450°F) for 8 minutes on each side. During the last 3 minutes of cooking, baste both sides of the chops well with sauce. Internal temperature of chops should reach 150–155°F prior to removing from grill.

4 Drizzle reserve sauce over chops when serving, or serve warm on the side.
