I saw this on Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives. You can make any adjustments you feel like to suit your own taste as the simmering progresses. As a bonus, this is about the best lemonade I have ever tasted due to the fact that you get all the oil from the skins included and there is no heat used that could alter the flavour.
Ingredients:
7 large lemons, cut in 1/8ths
2 cups sugar
8 cups water
750 ml ketchup
1 cup brown sugar
1 1/2 cups soy sauce
1 cup apple cider vinegar
3 teaspoons oregano
3 teaspoons paprika
3 teaspoons chili powder
3 teaspoons dried onion flakes
3 teaspoons garlic
3 teaspoons cracked black pepper
3 teaspoons ginger
2 teaspoons basil
2 teaspoons thyme
18 pork chops
2 cups breadcrumbs
Directions:
1. In batches in food processor combine Lemons, sugar and just enough water to make a slurry. In a large container combine the slurry with the rest of the water. Strain the mixture and you should end up with 8 cups of the best lemonade you ever tasted.
2. Combine all other ingredients and the lemonade. Simmer for 2 hours and use immediately or set aside in fridge for later use.
3. This amount covers 18 large Pork Chops in a full sized roasting pan, so adjust amounts according to requirements.
4. When I made the Pork Chops, this did 18 large (Costco) bone in double loin chops. I just tossed them in bread crumbs and quickly browned them in a skillet. Then they are stacked overlapping in a deep roasting pan and covered with the sauce. Cover the roaster with plastic wrap and then aluminum foil. Place in a preheated oven at 350F and cook for 2 hours or until the chops are easy to pull apart. At the 1 hour mark, rearrange the chops so the top ones spend some time completely covered in sauce.
