Well, I am back from Vegas and yesterday was Jen’s birthday so I cooked a big meal but didn’t post but will make it again and post pictures. Tonight was glazed pork chop night. For those of you that like bone-in pork chops, this post is for you!

Let’s cook!

Glazed Pork Chops

For the Pork:

1 tablespoon coarsely ground black pepper

1 tablespoon brown sugar

1  teaspoon smoked paprika

2 bone-in pork chops (about 1/2 pound each)

For the Sauce:

2 tablespoons unsalted butter

1 onion, diced

1/2 cup apple cider vinegar

1/4 cup brown sugar

1/2 cup ketchup

1/2 cup apple juice

2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce

1 teaspoon cayenne pepper

For the pork, mix 1 tablespoon salt, the black pepper, brown sugar and paprika in a small bowl. Rub all over the chops and let rest for 30 minutes.

Meanwhile, time to make the sauce. Melt the butter in a saucepan over medium heat, then add the onions and cook for about 5 minutes. Stir in the vinegar and brown sugar until dissolved.

Add the ketchup, apple juice, Worcestershire sauce, cayenne and black pepper. Bring to a boil, then reduce and simmer for 30 minutes.

Puree with an immersion blender.

Let the sauce rest at room temperature.

Preheat the grill on medium. Place the chops over direct heat and cook for 8 minutes per side.

Brush the chops on all sides with the sauce, then cover and cook until glazed, about 5 minutes.

Transfer to a plate and for 5 minutes.

Pour the sauce over the chops.
