BEER BRINED PORK CHOPS WITH ROASTED APPLES

Steps:

• Place pork chops in 1-gallon resealable freezer plastic bag. In medium bowl, mix water, beer, brown sugar and kosher salt until brown sugar is dissolved. Add peppercorns, thyme sprigs and rosemary sprigs. Pour brine over pork chops. Seal bag; refrigerate 4 to 24 hours, turning bag occasionally.
• Heat oven to 375°F. Line cookie sheet with foil; spray foil with cooking spray.
• In large bowl, toss apples, garlic, parsley, chopped thyme, chopped rosemary, salt, pepper and flour. Spread apples in single layer on cookie sheet. Drizzle with 1/4 cup oil. Roast 45 minutes to 1 hour or until apples are softened.
• About 20 minutes before apples are done, remove pork chops from brine and discard brine. Do not rinse pork chops; pat dry with paper towels. In large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon oil over medium-high heat. Add pork chops; cook about 10 minutes, turning once, or until pork is no longer pink in center. Let stand 5 minutes.
• Serve pork chops with roasted apples. Garnish with additional thyme and rosemary sprigs, if desired.

APPLE BEER BBQ PORK CHOPS

Steps:

• Make sauce the day before or early in the day, so it will be chilled before using.
• Place only 1/2 cup of Apple Beer and all of the other sauce ingredients in a blender. Not a food processor. Blend on medium for 3 minutes.
• Pour into a large sauce pan. Bring to a boil, stirring constantly to prevent sticking.
• Reduce heat and simmer for at 45 minutes, stirring occasionally, to combine flavors and thicken.
• Remove from heat and chill prior to use. Keeps well refrigerated. Keep it away from your Apple Beer in the refrigerator. It tends to take the chill off.
• Coat each chop thoroughly, both sides, with sauce. When the grill drops to medium heat, place chops over the heat to sear about 3 minutes each side. When seared, coat with more sauce and turn. Cook over medium heat, 10 minutes on one side, then add more sauce and turn. Cook 10 minutes. Add more sauce and turn. Cook additional 10 minutes.
