SMOKED PORK CHOPS

Steps:

• Preheat the smoker to 250 degrees F (120 degrees C). Add wood chips according to manufacturer's directions.
• Combine salt, brown sugar, pepper, paprika, ground mustard, garlic powder, onion powder, and oregano in a small bowl. Stir until evenly combined. Sprinkle over both sides of each pork chop.
• Place pork chops directly on the smoker grate. Smoke for 2 hours 30 minutes. Remove chops from the smoker and let rest for 10 minutes.

SMOKED PORK CHOPS WITH APPLES

Steps:

• In skillet over high heat, heat chops, cider, syrup, and vinegar till boiling. Reduce heat to medium, cover and cook 15 minutes, turning chops once.
• Meanwhile, cut apples into wedges. Remove pork chops to platter. Add apple wedges to liquid in skillet. Heat to boiling and cook until apples are fork-tender and liquid is thick and syrupy, about 10 minutes.
• Return pork to skillet; heat through, turning chops once to coat with glaze.

SMOKED PORK CHOPS WITH MAPLE GLAZE

Steps:

• In a medium skillet (cast iron preferred), heat oil over medium-high heat until glistening.
• Season both sides of pork chops with 1/8 teaspoons black pepper. Brown in hot oil for 5-8 minutes on each side or until heated through (and nicely browned).
• Meanwhile in a small saucepan, whisk together remaining ingredients. Cook over medium heat until thickened and bubbly.
• Once pork chops are browned, remove to a serving platter (or individual plates). Spoon maple glaze evenly over both and serve.

APPLE CIDER-BAKED PORK CHOPS

Steps:

• In a large ziplock bag mix all the ingredients together, besides the chops. Mis well.
• Add the pork chops and make sure the bag is sealed.
• Refrigerate the chops overnight, turning the bag over a few times.
• Preheat oven to 400°F
• Drain off all but 1/4 cup of the marinade. Bake the chops, uncovered for about 25 minutes.
• Turn the chops once during cooking and baste with remaining marinade often.

SMOKED PORK CHOPS WITH ONION-AND-CIDER GLAZE

Steps:

• Put oven rack in middle position and preheat oven to 350°F.
• Pat chops dry. Heat oil in a 12-inch heavy skillet over moderately high heat until hot but not smoking, then brown chops in 2 batches on one side only, 3 to 4 minutes per batch. Transfer chops, browned sides up, to a large shallow baking pan, reserving skillet. Bake chops until heated through, about 20 minutes.
• While chops bake, melt butter in skillet over moderate heat until foam subsides, then cook onion with sugar and salt, scraping up brown bits and stirring occasionally with a wooden spoon, until onion is softened, 8 to 10 minutes.
• Add cider and vinegar and boil mixture, stirring occasionally, until onions are tender and liquid is reduced to a glaze, about 10 minutes more. Serve chops with glaze.
