- Pour marinade over the pork chops and let stand overnight in refrigerator.
- Take chops out of marinade, place in baking pan and cover tightly with foil.
- Put in 375 degree oven and bake until tender - about 2 hours.
- Red Sauce.
- While chops are baking, combine all red sauce ingredients in heavy saucepan or double boiler.
- Mix well - leaving no lumps.
- Bring all ingredients to a slight boil.
- After chops are tender, remove from oven and dip in red sauce.
- Take chops after dipping and place in baking pan and bake for 30 minutes in 350 degree oven or until slightly glazed.
- Both sauces can be reused if brought to a boil and stored in refrigerator or frozen.
- For an extra flavor keep at room temperature until you are ready to put on a charcoal pit or grill. Have grill as high as possible from coals, not a large bed of coals is needed. Place finished chops on grill, let cook slowly, a little blacking does not hurt chops -- grilling should not take more than 15 minutes.
EMBER'S PORK CHOPS
A 2-step method for delicious tender chops. I prefer the grill method of finishing the chops, but if it's not grilling weather, these can be finished in the oven. Cook time does not include marinating overnight.

Tips:
- Choose the right pork chops: Look for bone-in pork chops that are at least 1 inch thick. This will ensure that they stay juicy and flavorful during cooking.
- Season the pork chops well: Pork chops can handle a lot of seasoning, so don't be afraid to experiment. Try a simple salt and pepper rub, or add some garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, or chili powder.
- Cook the pork chops over high heat: This will help to create a nice crust on the outside of the pork chops while keeping the inside juicy. If you're cooking the pork chops in a skillet, make sure that the skillet is hot before you add the pork chops.
- Don't overcook the pork chops: Pork chops are best when they are cooked to an internal temperature of 145 degrees Fahrenheit. Overcooked pork chops will be dry and tough.
- Let the pork chops rest before serving: This will allow the juices to redistribute throughout the pork chops, making them even more tender and flavorful.
