Tennessee-Whiskey Glazed Pork Chops - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1/2 cup whiskey, JD if you can get it
1/2 cup apple cider
2 tablespoons turbinado sugar
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
1/8 teaspoon cayenne powder
1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
4 teaspoons cider vinegar
4 pork chops, bone-in center cut 1-inch thick
1 tablespoon unsalted butter

Preparation

Whisk whiskey, cider, sugar, mustard, cayenne, vanilla and 1 tsp vinegar together.
Transfer 1/2 c of this mixture to a bag, add chops. Press air from bag and zip. Turn to coat chops. Put in refrigerator for at least 2 hours, longer is better.
Keep remaining whiskey mixture separately.
Remove chops from bag, pat dry, discard marinade.
In small saucepan, heat remaining whiskey mixture to a simmer and reduce until thick and bubbly. Add the butter, whisking until melted in and the glaze has taken on a nice sheen.
Oil grill well. Heat grill to high, reduce heat to medium-low. Place chops on grill to sear. Turn chops. Brush glaze on chops. Cook until almost done.
Turn chops, brush again with glaze.
Internal temperature should be 145 when done.
Remove from grill, plate and serve.
