Grilled Marinated Pork Chops Recipe

Grilled Marinated Pork Chops Recipe

  • 1 cup apple juice
  • 3/4 cup soy sauce
  • 1/2 cup honey
  • 2 large garlic cloves, forced through a garlic press
  • 2 tablespoons grated peeled fresh gingerroot
  • 1 tablespoon dry mustard
  • 2 dashes of Worcestershire sauce
  • 1/2 cup golden or dark rum
  • twelve 1-inch-thick pork chops
  • a 12-ounce jar apple jelly
  • 3 tablespoons lemon juice
  • freshly grated nutmeg to taste
  1. In a bowl combine the apple juice, 1/2 cup of the soy sauce, the honey, the garlic, the gingerroot, the mustard, the Worcestershire sauce, and the rum. In a shallow dish arrange the pork chops in one layer, pour the marinade over them, and let them marinate, covered and chilled, turning them occasionally, overnight. Drain the marinade into a saucepan and add the jelly and the remaining 1/4 cup soy sauce. Bring the sauce to a boil, boil it until it is reduced to about 1 1/2 cups, and stir in the lemon juice and the nutmeg. Grill the pork chops on an oiled rack set about 6 inches over glowing coals, turning them and basting them with the sauce every 5 minutes, for a total 20 minutes, or until they are just cooked through. Serve the chops with the sauce.
