Since there's a lot of pork produced in the Midwest, I think this recipe represents our area well. My family likes to grill pork chops, and this is the recipe that they request most often. We love the sweet/sour tang of the marinade. Ingredients:
1/2 cup packed brown sugar |
2 tablespoons cornstarch |
2 tablespoons butter, melted |
1/8 teaspoon salt |
1-1/2 cups pineapple juice |
1/2 cup cider vinegar |
1 tablespoon soy sauce |
2 teaspoons worcestershire sauce |
1/2 teaspoon liquid smoke, optional |
1 cup lemon-lime soda |
6 pork loin chops (1 inch thick and 8 ounces each) |
Directions:
1. In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the sugar, cornstarch, butter and salt. In a small bowl, combine the pineapple juice, vinegar, soy sauce, Worcestershire and Liquid Smoke if desired. Gradually add to sugar mixture. Bring to a boil; cook and stir for 2 minutes or until thickened.
2. Pour soda into a large resealable plastic bag. Add 1/2 cup of the sauce; add the chops. Seal bag and turn to coat. Refrigerate overnight. Cover and refrigerate remaining sauce.
3. Discard marinade. Grill chops, covered, over hot heat for 10-15 minutes per side or until juices run clear or the internal temperature reaches 160°. Heat reserved sauce and serve over chops. Yield: 6 servings.
