GRILLED SMOKED PORK CHOPS WITH SWEET AND SOUR GLAZE
Steps:
- Preheat a grill pan to medium-high.
- In a plastic resealable bag, big enough to fit the chops, mix together the sugar, honey, oil, lime juice, and red pepper flakes. Add the pork chops and let marinate for at least 20 minutes.
- Remove the pork from the marinade. Lightly brush the grill with oil. Put the chops on the grill and cook until grill marks form, about 2 minutes. Rotate the chops 90 degrees, and grill for 2 minutes more, to create diamond grill marks. Flip and cook another 2 minutes. Remove from grill to a serving platter and serve.
SMOKED PORK CHOPS
There are pork chops and then there are smoked pork chops. The rub has just the right amount of sweetness and saltiness that complements the smoky flavor perfectly. Oak is my wood of choice for these but feel free to substitute any hard wood chips.

SMOKED PORK CHOPS WITH ONION-AND-CIDER GLAZE
Steps:
- Put oven rack in middle position and preheat oven to 350°F.
- Pat chops dry. Heat oil in a 12-inch heavy skillet over moderately high heat until hot but not smoking, then brown chops in 2 batches on one side only, 3 to 4 minutes per batch. Transfer chops, browned sides up, to a large shallow baking pan, reserving skillet. Bake chops until heated through, about 20 minutes.
- While chops bake, melt butter in skillet over moderate heat until foam subsides, then cook onion with sugar and salt, scraping up brown bits and stirring occasionally with a wooden spoon, until onion is softened, 8 to 10 minutes.
- Add cider and vinegar and boil mixture, stirring occasionally, until onions are tender and liquid is reduced to a glaze, about 10 minutes more. Serve chops with glaze.

Steps:
- Pat pork chops dry with paper towels. Season each side with a sprinkling of pepper, and salt if desired. Heat oil in a large nonstick frying pan or skillet over medium-high heat until just hot then add pork chops and brown both sides (around 5 minutes if your pork chops are around 1/2-inch thick).
- Stir cider and brown sugar together and add to the frying pan. Reduce heat to low and simmer the pork chops, uncovered, turning the chops after a minute, until the meat is almost cooked through but not quite (about 2 minutes). Remove pork chops to a plate with a fork.
- Add the vinegar and ground mustard to the frying pan juices and bring to a boil, scraping up any brown bits on the bottom of the pan with a spatula. Continue to cook until the glaze mixture is reduced to about 1/3 cup. It will take 5 to 10 minutes. The cider mixture will get bubbly when it is just about at the syrup/glaze stage.
- Turn off heat. Place the pork chops back in the frying pan along with any juices that formed on the bottom of the plate.
- Flip chops over to coat both sides with the cider glaze, cover frying pan and let sit for a minute or two to blend flavors. Check thickest part of the pork chop for desired doneness and serve.

- Prepare the pork chops: Pat the pork chops dry with paper towels. Season the pork chops with salt and pepper, or your favorite pork chop seasoning.
- Smoke the pork chops: Preheat your smoker to 225 degrees Fahrenheit. Smoke the pork chops for 1-2 hours, or until the internal temperature reaches 145 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Make the onion and cider glaze: While the pork chops are smoking, make the onion and cider glaze. Sauté the onions in butter until they are soft and caramelized. Add the apple cider, brown sugar, Dijon mustard, and spices. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer for 10 minutes.
- Glaze the pork chops: Brush the pork chops with the onion and cider glaze. Return the pork chops to the smoker and smoke for an additional 15 minutes, or until the glaze is set.
Conclusion:
Smoked pork chops with onion and cider glaze are a delicious and easy-to-make dish. The pork chops are succulent and flavorful, and the onion and cider glaze adds a sweet and tangy flavor. This dish is perfect for a summer cookout or a weeknight meal.
