Brine
- 1 cup boiling water
- 1/4 cup kosher salt
- 1/2 cup cooking molasses
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 3 cups cold water
- 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
- 1 tablespoon minced garlic

Instructions
Brine
- Combine the boiling water, salt, molasses and, brown sugar in a large air-tight container until dissolved.
- Add in the remaining ingredients and stir to combine.

Cooking the Pork Chops
- Heat your grill to medium-high heat and grill for approximately 4-5 minutes on each side or until an instant-read thermometer shows the internal temperature of the pork chop is a safe cooking temperature (145 degrees Fahrenheit). Remove and serve.
- To broil, place the chops on a broiling rack 6 inches from the heating element and broil for approximately 4-5 minutes on each side or until an instant-read thermometer shows the internal temperature of the pork chop is a safe cooking temperature (145 degrees Fahrenheit). Remove and serve.
