Honey Brined and grilled pork chops with pepper jelly
Hello and welcome to pork heaven. Please buckle up as these big babies require a little time because they will soak in a brine. It is well worth it to get them tender and of course let them soak up the flavor.
They get seared on the grill, each side, then put in the oven where the honey will work some sort of magic. They will become a pork chop god in the oven.
Ingredients:
3 lbs thick cut pork chops
Brine:
2 cups honey
1 cup salt
1/2 cup slap ya mama
water
Bulldog Pepper Jelly (roasted garlic)
Slap ya mama original blend cajun seasoning
Directions:
In a small sauce pan place about 2 cups of water
Add the slap ya mama, salt and honey
Stir to combine and bring it to a boil
Remove from the heat and pour into the container you will soak your pork chops in
Add some cold water, but not too much since you still have to place your pork chops in
Once the liquid is all cooled, place pork chops in it
Cover and place in the fridge for at least 3 hours, best if you let it soak overnight
Cooking:Start by heating your grill
Heat oven to 350
Line a sheet pan with foil and lay out your pork chops
Make sure to pat them dry
Sprinkle each side with slap ya mama original seasoning
Using your grill, sear them on each side
Once they have a good sear, bring them inside to go into the oven
On a lined sheet pan, place them in the oven and cook for about 25-30 until internal temp reads that it is cooked through
Once cooked, take them out of the oven and tent them with foil
In a small saucepan warm up the pepper jelly
It will melt, brush on top of each pork chop
Serve!
