Cider Brined Pork Chops
Sorry, but it was getting dark and the photos are not the best.....
Found some center cut loin chops on sale Friday
Brined with Oakridge Game Changer Brine mixed with apple cider in a Zip-Loc bag overnight.
I Knew I wasn't able to cook them yesterday, as I knew I would be gone in the morning and afternoon; so I made the brine half strength to accommodate a long 24 hour bath.
Started the kettle with a paper towel drizzled with cooking oil.
Started with sliced potatoes, inserted onion slices in between the potato slices, added butter, and Pennsylvania Pepper; then tightly wrapped them in foil.
For those who can't get Pennsylvania Pepper from their spice supplier, Lawry's Seasoned Pepper is a close substitute. (blended from black pepper, onion, garlic, roasted red bell pepper, green bell pepper and celery seed)
Decided to use two different sauces as the finishing glazes, Why? Because I was testing the family's taste preference.
Yes Dear Yellow Sauce, slightly sweet and full of flavor / Yes Dear Competition Sauce, truly a zesty sauce, with a hint of sweet, a hint of heat, and finally ending in a tangy note.
Yes, the new Competition Sauce was just recently released so it doesn't have a label yet, but it's in the works..
Potatoes are half done, so I dusted them with Oakridge Secret Weapon BBQ Rub and started half the chops.
Time to eat
While the family has always loved the Yes Dear Yellow Sauce, unanimously, they all agreed that the new Yes Dear Competition is definitely the winner today. It reminds me of the Purple Pork Masters Competition Sauce that was the bomb before it disappeared from the market.
