Recipe type: Main
Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
  • For the Sweet Peach Tea Brine:
  • 4 Bone-in Pork Chops (about 1-inch in thickness)
  • 2 Cups Prepared Sweet Tea
  • ½ Cup Peach Nectar
  • ¼ Cup Salt
  • For the Peach Preserve Bourbon Glaze
  • ½ Cup Peach Preserves
  • 1 tbsp Bourbon
Instructions
  1. Combine the sweet tea, peach nectar, and salt in a bowl. Stir until combined well.
  2. Place the pork chops into a brine-bag and pour in the Sweet Peach Tea Brine mixture. Close the bag and place the bag in a bowl (you want to do this in case the bag springs a leak so that you don’t have the brine all over your refrigerator). Place in the refrigerator for at least 4-5 hours.
  3. Prepare the grill for direct grilling at about 350-375 degrees Fahrenheit. Remove the pork chops from the brine and discard the brine. Do a quick rinse of the pork chops under some cold water (just to get some of the excess salt off). Pat dry.
  4. Prepare the Peach Preserve Bourbon Glaze by stirring the peach preserves together with the bourbon, set aside. If you’d like to warm the glaze, put in a grill-safe pot and place on the grill (I put it off to the side where it isn’t so hot)-stir occasionally.
  5. Grill the pork chops until cooked through, turning halfway through cook-time. You may have to rotate the pork chops around the grill if you have hot-spots. Baste the pork chops with the Peach Preserve Bourbon Glaze on each side a few times during the last minute or two of cooking.
  6. Remove the Sweet Peach Tea Brined Pork Chops with Peach Preserve Bourbon Glaze and allow to rest a few minutes before serving. Serve with your favorite sides, such as Award Winning Collard Greens.
