Steps:
- Start with a brine of 2 cups cold water and one tablespoon salt. You can add other things to the brine if you want. Add pork chops and refrigerate for 1-2 hours.
- Preheat grill to a surface temperature of 450°. Just above medium usually. Clean and oil well.
- Mix glaze of two tablespoons apricot jam, one teaspoon good quality balsamic vinegar, and one teaspoon olive oil.
- Remove pork from brine, rinse under running water, and pat dry. Give them a light sprinkle of pepper, then brush lightly with the glaze. Also, a sprinkle of salt if you skipped the brine.
- Place over direct heat for 5 minutes, then flip and brush with glaze. Flip again in 5 minutes and brush with glaze. Continue to flip every 5 minutes and brush with glaze until internal temperature of 140°-145°. About 15-20 minutes. 18 for me.
- Remove from grill, tent lightly with foil, and allow to rest 5 minutes before serving.

PORK CHOPS WITH JAMMY-MUSTARD GLAZE
Fruit and mustard are two classic accompaniments to pork, and really, a juicy chop doesn't need much more than that for a sweet and tangy sauce. Mix together water, grainy mustard and any fruit preserve that's good with pork like cherry, fig, peach or apricot. Sear bone-in pork chops mostly on one side to prevent overcooking, then pour the fruit-mustard mixture into the skillet while they rest. The pork will stay moist, and its juices will have time to mingle with the sauce. Then just slice the pork and drape it in the velvety two-ingredient glaze. Eat with mashed or roasted potatoes and a green salad.

Steps:
- In a small bowl, stir together 1/4 cup water, the preserves and the mustard. Set near the stove. Pat the pork chops dry, and season all over with salt and pepper.
- In a large (12-inch) cast-iron skillet, heat the oil over medium-high. Add the pork chops and cook, occasionally pressing down to make good contact with the skillet, until browned, 4 to 5 minutes. Reduce the heat to low, flip the chops and cook until opaque on the other side, 1 to 2 minutes. Pour in the jam-mustard mixture, turn off the heat, and let rest for 5 minutes.
- Transfer the chops to plates, then return the skillet to medium-low heat and simmer, scraping up browned bits, until the sauce has thickened slightly, 1 to 3 minutes. Taste and adjust seasonings. Every jam is different, so if it's too sweet, add more mustard, salt or black pepper; if it's too salty, add a little more jam; if it's too intense or thick, add a little more water; if it's flat, add salt. Spoon sauce over the pork chops.

Steps:
- Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat, and lightly oil the grate.
- Place the brown sugar, ketchup, mayonnaise, yellow mustard, Worcestershire sauce, chili powder, and cayenne pepper into a bowl, and stir until blended.
- Place the pork chops on the preheated grill, and cook the chops until the surface is seared but the meat is just barely pink in the middle, about 5 minutes. Brush the chops with the glaze mixture, and flip to cook the glaze onto the meat. When the glazed side shows good grill marks, flip again, brush glaze onto the pork chops, flip, and grill until the other side shows nice brown grill marks. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center of a chop should read 145 degrees F (63 degrees C).
