GRILLED MARINATED PORK CHOPS
Steps:
- In a bowl combine the apple juice, 1/2 cup of the soy sauce, the honey, the garlic, the gingerroot, the mustard, the Worcestershire sauce, and the rum. In a shallow dish arrange the pork chops in one layer, pour the marinade over them, and let them marinate, covered and chilled, turning them occasionally, overnight. Drain the marinade into a saucepan and add the jelly and the remaining 1/4 cup soy sauce. Bring the sauce to a boil, boil it until it is reduced to about 1 1/2 cups, and stir in the lemon juice and the nutmeg. Grill the pork chops on an oiled rack set about 6 inches over glowing coals, turning them and basting them with the sauce every 5 minutes, for a total 20 minutes, or until they are just cooked through. Serve the chops with the sauce.
Tips:
- Choose the right pork chops. Look for chops that are at least 1 inch thick and have a good amount of marbling. This will help ensure that they stay juicy and flavorful during grilling.
- Use a flavorful marinade. The marinade will help to tenderize the pork chops and infuse them with flavor. There are many different marinade recipes to choose from, so find one that you like and experiment with different ingredients.
- Grill the pork chops over medium heat. This will help to prevent them from drying out. Cook the chops for 8-10 minutes per side, or until they are cooked through.
- Let the pork chops rest before serving. This will allow the juices to redistribute throughout the meat, making them even more tender and flavorful.
Conclusion:
Grilled marinated pork chops are a delicious and easy-to-make meal that is perfect for any occasion. With a little planning and preparation, you can create a flavorful and juicy dish that your family and friends will love. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy weeknight meal, give grilled marinated pork chops a try!
