Pork Chops with Apple Cranberry Glaze

shucker · February 2015

Last night I tried to replicate a dish from one of my favorite local restaurants. I started by brining some thick chops in water, salt, sugar, garlic, apple cider, bay leaves, thyme, black peppercorns and allspice. After the brine, I seasoned them with kosher salt and black pepper and egged them direct at 400 degrees to 140 IT. I made a glaze with apple cider, apple sauce, cranberry relish, and maple syrup. Bad news for the restaurant....I won't be ordering their dish anymore.

Thanks guys. I should add these were cooked on the new mini max which is awesome for weeknight cooks. I was up to temp with clear smoke in less than 15 min after lighting with a weed burner. I dont think my oven will preheat to 400 much quicker than that.
