Not so special pork chops, turned special....

tarheelmatt

Just a standard pork chop from the grocery store.  It was a variety pack and my wife loves them that way (and my little girl).  Nothing fancy.  

I churched them up a tad, seasoning and sauce wise.  

Seasoning (I think I used about a teaspoon (heavy) for each: 

Salt
Pepper
Season salt
Onion powder
Garlic powder
Woodford Reserve smoked pepper and lemon zest
White sugar


Seasoned liberally, and let rest for an hour or two. 


Made a blueberry sauce to go along with it.  

Ingredients: 

1 cup of blueberries
Apple cider vinegar (maybe 1/2 cup)
Zest and juice of 1 lemon
Zest and juice of 1/2 orange
Dash of cinnamon
Dash of garlic powder
Dash of onion powder
1/2 teaspoon red pepper flake
1/2-3/4 cup white sugar
Dash of worsheshire sauce
salt 
pepper
Season salt

Measurements isn't my thing, many are guesstimates.  I tasted until I thought it was right.

1 - Egg coming up to temp.  Went raised direct about 400°.  Eventually went direct un-raised.  







2 - Close up of what's happening.





3 - A few that were done. Layed some butter and flat leaf parsley down on the baking sheet for the chops to lay in once done.  





4  - With the blueberry sauce





Thanks for taking a look!
