Instructions
- For the Brine, pour cold water, apple cider and syrup into large plastic or glass container, or 2-gallon (7.5 L) resealable plastic bag. Stir in salt until dissolved. Place pork chops in brine to cover. If necessary, place a plate on top of pork chops to keep them submerged. Cover container or seal bag.
- Refrigerate 2 to 4 hours. Remove pork chops from brine. Discard remaining brine. Rinse pork chops under cool running water. Pat dry. Brush pork chops lightly with oil. Rub with Smoked Paprika and Onion Seasoning all over.
- Grill over medium heat 4 to 6 minutes per side or until pork is desired doneness. Serve with grilled fruit, if desired.
Test Kitchen Tip:If you’d like to prepare a simple brine without maple syrup and apple cider, increase the amount of water to 8 cups (2 L) and add 1/2 cup (125 ml) sugar. Stir together until salt and sugar are dissolved.
