    How to Brine a pork chop.

    Brining isn't essential but it is a great way to ensure you have a juicy tender pork chop.

    A brine is a salt water bath that the meat sits in. This salt penetrated the meat taking water with it. This helps to keep the meat super juicy when you cook it.

    I like to add a little brown sugar to my brine, it adds a subtle hint of sweetness and helps the pork caramelise whilst it is cooked.

    Don't worry your pork doesn't taste really salty, just nicely seasoned.

    If you have brined your chops them skip the seasoning stage in the recipe.

    I urge you to use bone-in pork chops, they are always juicier! Pork has had such a bad reputation as a dry chewy meat, but if you cook it until it has an internal temperature ofย ย 62ยบC(145ยบF) it will be cooked through but still juicy and tender.

    I like to do this by searing it in a pan and then finishing it in the oven; I think you get a more evenly cooked piece of meat. (Just be very careful as the frying pan handle is super hot and burns on your palms are super painful!

    The sauce is thick and sticky with a lovely sweetness but a bite from the vinegar and mustard. The rosemary just works perfectly and I really really really recommend that you use the fresh lemon at the end. The combination is divine! Honestly lipsmakingly amazing!

    What to serve with this Maple Glazed Pork chop

    Try serving this with:

    • Roasted Rutabaga (roasted swede)
    • Smashed potatoes
    • Simple side salad
    • Mashed white beans

    Enjoy x

    p.s If pork chops are on special, why not buy double the amount and try this deliciously crispy Oven baked Crusted Pork Chops from Kelly over at The Anthony Kitchen.

      Maple syrup is my new favorite thing! Especially when I can pair it with something savory. I've been looking for a new dish to try for dinner and this is the one!

      I hardly make pork chops at home, and then I see recipes like this and wonder why not, and then I forget again. I'm leaving the window tab open in hopes I remember haha. Any excuse to pull out the cast iron skillets...

        I know exactly what you mean!
        In our supermarket you can buy raw chicken from the deli counter, so I always stop there first, then head for the ground meat section and buy mince (Because we have a meatball and burger habit!!!) and then forget to go to the last aisle and look at the cuts of meat. It is only when I remember a recipe that I think to go there. And my memory is terrible, seriously the baby brain never left me!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ๐Ÿ˜‰

      It does not matter how many times you tell me that pan handles are hot when they leave the oven I will still touch them... Usually when I am finishing a sauce with them whilst the meat is resting ๐Ÿ˜ฎ

      Delicious sounding and looking pork chops ๐Ÿ˜€

        It is so easily done. When I was in the restaurant the chefs would often shake flour over the handle if it was hot, like a sort of warning. I sometimes think it would help and other times I think I would still forget!!! What I need is a silicone hand cover that I can slide on once the pan comes out of the oven. (Wonder if anyone does this???? It could be the start of something!!! "This time next year we'll be millionaires")

      That sauce looks amazing! I love chops and cook mine the same way - stove top and then oven. It's amazing how fast they cook - almost not enough time to pull together a sauce. Love how simple yours is -

          Hi Jamie,

          I have updated the recipe as during a conversion to a different recipe card the instuctions got a little scrambled. I would recommend 6 minutes in the oven. If you have the real extra thick pork chops they may need a couple of minutes longer, but standard grocery store ones (like the ones in my photos) that 6 minutes in the oven.

          Hope that helps ๐Ÿ™‚
