Carolyns Variation On The Embers Pork Chops Recipes

THE EMBERS ORIGINAL 1# PORK CHOP

Steps:

• Marinating Sauce:.
• Take soy sauce, water, brown sugar, molasses and salt - mix together in a saucepan and bring to a boil.
• Let cool.
• Put chops in a pan with bone side up.
• Pour marinade over the pork chops and let stand overnight in refrigerator.
• Take chops out of marinade, place in baking pan and cover tightly with foil.
• Put in 375 degree oven and bake until tender - about 2 hours.
• Red Sauce.
• While chops are baking, combine all red sauce ingredients in heavy saucepan or double boiler.
• Mix well - leaving no lumps.
• Bring all ingredients to a slight boil.
• After chops are tender, remove from oven and dip in red sauce.
• Take chops after dipping and place in baking pan and bake for 30 minutes in 350 degree oven or until slightly glazed.
• Both sauces can be reused if brought to a boil and stored in refrigerator or frozen.
• For an extra flavor keep at room temperature until you are ready to put on a charcoal pit or grill. Have grill as high as possible from coals, not a large bed of coals is needed. Place finished chops on grill, let cook slowly, a little blacking does not hurt chops -- grilling should not take more than 15 minutes.
