Ingredients
2 1/2 cups water
1 tablespoon sugar
1 tablespoon black
pepper
2 tablespoons butter
1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
1 tablespoon salt
1/4 cup chopped onion
1 clove garlic, minced
1 teaspoon red pepper
2 teaspoons chili powder
1 teaspoon hot pepper
sauce
1 teaspoon dry mustard
3 tablespoons
Worcestershire sauce
6 pork chops, 1
to 1 1/4-inches thick
Directions
To a medium saucepan,
add all ingredients except pork chops and stir to
combine. Bring
mixture to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 5
minutes. Transfer sauce to a bowl or other
container, then cover and refrigerate for a few hours or overnight to blend flavors.
Before using to baste over pork chops, heat again in
saucepan (or microwave) just until sauce is slightly
warm and blended, then remove from heat and pour
into a bowl to use for basting.
Place chops on grill over
slow-cooking coals (coals should be at a temperature
low enough to allow the chops to cook for up to 15
minutes on each side without burning) and grill 12 to 15 minutes on each side,
turning and brushing frequently with sauce. Remove
chops just until thickest portion of chops are no
longer pink or undercooked (cutting into thickest
part of a pork chop to check doneness is recommended
before removing the chops from the grill). Be
careful not to overcook pork chops, because
overcooking can give pork chops a tough and chewy
texture. |
