BROWN SUGAR PORK CHOPS WITH GEORGIA PEACH BBQ SAUCE

Steps:

• Place a medium saute pan over medium heat and add the oil. Add the onion and cook until translucent, about 2 minutes. Add the garlic and ginger and cook until fragrant, 45 to 60 seconds.
• Add the ketchup, peach jam and peaches. Reduce heat to low and simmer until the sauce thickens, about 30 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add the vinegar and season with salt and pepper. Remove from the heat and set aside to cool.
• Meanwhile, in a medium heatproof bowl, dissolve the brown sugar and kosher salt in boiling water, then stir in the ice cubes to cool. Add the pork chops, cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate about 30 minutes. Remove the pork chops from the brine, rinse them well and dry thoroughly with paper towels.
• Pour half the barbecue sauce into a shallow baking dish; reserve remaining sauce. Add the pork chops, turning to coat both sides.
• Prepare a medium-hot grill or grill pan. Grill the chops until cooked through, about 5 minutes per side, basting chops with barbecue sauce. Remove from the grill and let stand 5 minutes before serving. Serve with the remaining sauce.

CHARRED DOUBLE-CUT PORK CHOPS WITH BROWN SUGAR BBQ SAUCE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the oil. When the oil begins to smoke lightly, sprinkle the pork chops on both sides with salt. Arrange them in a single layer in the skillet. Cook until browned, 3 to 5 minutes, then turn over and cook for an additional 3 to 5 minutes. Transfer the skillet to the center of the oven. Cook until the pork reaches an internal temperature of 150 degrees F, 25 to 30 minutes.
• Drizzle the chops generously on both sides with the Brown Sugar BBQ Sauce. Transfer to a platter and serve with additional sauce on the side.
• Combine the ketchup, dark brown sugar, cider vinegar, chili powder, soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce and Dijon mustard in a large pot and whisk to blend. Bring to a simmer over medium heat. Add the garlic, ginger and lemon slices. Simmer until the vinegar mellows slightly and the flavors start to meld together, 20 to 25 minutes. Remove from the heat but keep warm.
