PREPARATION

  • Prepare The Pork Chop: In a small bowl, mix apple juice, honey, cinnamon, salt, and pepper. Rub the mixture evenly over the pork chop.
  • Marinate The Pork Chop: Allow the pork chop to marinate for at least 10 minutes, or longer if time permits, to enhance the flavours.
  • Preheat The Grill: Set the grill to medium heat. Oil the grill grates to prevent the pork chop from sticking.
  • Grill The Pork Chop: Grill the pork chop for 4-5 minutes per side until the internal temperature reaches 63°C (145°F). Baste with the remaining apple glaze during grilling.
  • Serve: Let the pork chop rest for a few minutes before serving. Drizzle with extra apple glaze if desired.

PREP TIME

10 minutes

COOKING TIME

10 minutes

TIPS

  • Rest The Pork Chop: Let the pork rest for 5 minutes after grilling to allow the juices to redistribute, keeping the meat tender.
  • Baste During Grilling: Brush additional apple glaze on the pork during grilling for added sweetness and a caramelised crust.
  • Use Fresh Apple Juice: Use freshly pressed apple juice for a more intense flavour.
  • Thicker Chops: If using thicker pork chops, increase the grilling time and check the internal temperature to ensure the pork is cooked thoroughly.

VARIATIONS

  • Spicy Apple Glaze: Add a pinch of cayenne pepper to the apple glaze for a sweet and spicy kick.
  • Herb-Infused: Include fresh rosemary or thyme in the marinade for a more herbaceous flavour profile.
  • Fruit Twist: Replace apple juice with pear or pineapple juice for a different fruity glaze.
  • Smokier Taste: Swap cinnamon with smoked paprika or add a touch of chipotle powder for a smokier flavour.

PREPPING AND STORAGE

  • Fridge Storage: Store any leftover pork chop in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
  • Freezing: Freeze grilled pork chops for up to 3 months. Thaw in the fridge before reheating.
  • Reheating: Reheat on the grill or in the oven at 180°C (350°F) until warmed through, ensuring the meat stays moist by covering with foil.
