Serves: 6
Ingredients
½ gal. Water
½ c. Molasses
2 T. Dried thyme
½ c. Kosher salt
2 T. Peppercorns
6 Pork chops, thick cut
Instructions
Combine water, molasses, thyme, kosher salt and peppercorns in a large non-reactive bowl or pot (use a stock pot lined with a plastic trash bag). Stir until salt and molasses are dissolved. Add chops to the brine and place in the refrigerator for at least two hours, up to a maximum of six. Remove chops from the brine and pat them dry, being careful to remove the peppercorns that have adhered to the chop. Cook over a grill that has been prepared to a medium heat. A 1-inch chop should cook approximately 7 minutes on each side (to 145 degrees).
