Pork Chops with apple-dijon glaze
Options
Fidel
Posts: 10,172
Another night of tinkering. I had some bone-in thick cut pork chops that I didn't have time to brine, so I decided to make a glaze.
1.5c apple juice
1 Tbsp minced onion
1 Tbsp minced garlic
1 Tbsp dijon mustard
1/4c apple jelly
1 Tbsp Dizzy Dust
1tsp dried thyme
1tsp sage
1Tbsp vegetable oil
Boiled the apple juice until it reduced down to about 1/2c. Maybe 10 minutes. Added in the minced garlic, onion, thyme, sage, and dizzy dust and continued to boil until the onion and garlic were soft. Maybe 5 more minutes. Added the dijon and apple jelly and heated just until the jelly melted. Transferred to a small measuring cup and hit it with the stick blender, then drizzled in the oil and continued to blend to create an emulsion.
Seasoned with salt and fresh cracked pepper, then cooked the chops direct at 350° with a good dose of apple wood chunks for 2 minutes per side, then brushed on the first coat of glaze. Flipped every 2-3 minutes, glazing each time until they were 140° internal. One final light layer of glaze and rested for 5 minutes until time to dig in.
We decided tonight was "yellow food night" so we served with mac-n-cheese and summer squash. Beverage was the golden "champagne of beers". All in all a pretty good meal.

Dang those look awesome...

Now where have i heard that before?
-
Dem looks MITEEFINE! How long do you NORMALLY brine a 1.5 -2 inch thick porkchop?I brined some earlier this week for a few hours and they were the best chops I ever cooked.The next batch I brined overnite and they were WAY too salty.The chops were NOT enhanced.They were pure pork. :huh:
-
Nice!! Still laughin!
-
I normally brine for 2-3 hours in a vacuum container. My brine solution normally contains a good amount of sugar too. I find that gives a good exterior and moist interior.
-
do you have any more pictures of the pork chops?
-
actually, yes, I do
-
I used 4C water,1/4 cup Brown Sugar,1/4 cup Kosher Salt.The 3 hour chops were awesome.The overniters,,
-
i think you took the came photo of the chops and photoshopped in the background. one pic it's a grill, then a plate, etc. But the excat same photo of the chops themselves.
after that McDobald's photo-editting you did, i am on to you.
i wonder if you even HAVE an egg. -

Man that looks good! Thanks for writing out the recipe. We just got back from the last run of the season over in Jefferson Tx. at the BOO run. Over 10,000 this year and we put on a little over 450 miles this weekend just riding the back roads and poker runs. Temps from mid 60's lows to upper 80's highs and not a cloud in the sky.

Hey Deane, You have been doing more riding than I have been doing.
You got the monkey butt? -
Lookin great Bud. I did some country ribs with a glaze last weekend.
-
Fidel, I like the sound of the combination of apple and mustard for pork chops! The chops look gorgeous.
