Time P1DT2h45m

Yield 6 chops, 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

6 lbs pork chops
2 cups soy sauce
1 cup water
1/2 cup brown sugar
1 tablespoon dark molasses
1 teaspoon salt
1/3 cup water
1 (14 ounce) bottle Heinz ketchup
1 (12 ounce) bottle Heinz Chili Sauce
1/2 cup brown sugar
1 tablespoon dry mustard

Steps:

  • Marinating Sauce:.
  • Take soy sauce, water, brown sugar, molasses and salt - mix together in a saucepan and bring to a boil.
  • Let cool.
  • Put chops in a pan with bone side up.
  • 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.

Tips:

  • Opt for thick-cut pork chops with a bone for extra flavor and juiciness.
  • Enhance the flavor of the chops by marinating them for at least 30 minutes or up to overnight.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan when searing the chops to ensure even cooking.
  • Use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature of the chops to ensure they reach 145°F (63°C) for medium-rare or 160°F (71°C) for medium.
  • Allow the chops to rest for a few minutes before serving to redistribute the juices and prevent them from drying out.
  • Experiment with different sauces and sides to complement the pork chops, such as apple sauce, mashed potatoes, or roasted vegetables.

Conclusion:

Following these detailed tips and instructions, you can create delicious and satisfying pork chops that are sure to impress your family and friends. Remember to choose high-quality ingredients, pay attention to cooking times and temperatures, and don't be afraid to experiment with different flavors and sides to find your perfect combination.
