Maple syrup compliments pork extremely well. After marinating the pork chops overnight, save the marinade and heat it up with some rum and butter for a delicious maple rum sauce to top the cooked pork chops.

Marinade Ingredients

It only takes about 5 minutes to gather and whisk together the marinade ingredients.

Then put the marinade in a sealable bag, add the pork chops and seal, and put it in the refrigerator overnight. You might want to put it in a bowl or on a plate just in case you have a little leakage.

Making Maple Rum Glaze

The next day, while the charcoal is getting ready or your gas grill is heating up, remove the pork chops from the marinade and add the marinade to a medium sauté or sauce pan with a little butter and rum.

Heat this to a simmer and cook for 3 to 5 minutes to thicken a little and cook the raw pork juices.

Maple Glaze Pork Chops Grilling

Grill the pork chops over medium heat. It will only take about 3 to 5 minutes per side, depending on how thick the chops are. To be sure, cook until the pork reaches an internal temperature of 145 degrees.

Maple Glazed Pork Chops

Top the pork chops with the maple rum sauce and sliced green onions. Try this with Grilled Loaded Potatoes.

Enjoy!

Ginger Soy Pork Chops

Ginger Soy Pork Chops

I love spring, summer, and fall months because that means I use my barbeque a lot more. I like just about anything grilled, a good burger or brat, chicken, beef or pork, and many different grilled veggies.

I created an Asian Slaw for my Asian Burgers and wondered what else could I make to serve with the Asian Slaw. That’s how I came up with this recipe.

Ginger Soy Pork Marinade

It’s as simple as whisking together a few ingredients, letting the pork marinate for a bit, then cooking them on the grill.

So, whisk together the marinade and set aside.

I used 2 pork chops that I had cut down from a large pork loin that I bought when it was on sale and froze. Use, whatever you want, but you will want to use a boneless pork chop since you will be cutting it in half. If you desire a whole pork chop, this marinate could handle up to 4 regular size pork chops.

I cut my 2 pork chops in half to make 4 servings then got it in the marinade and let it hang out for about 1/2 hour. You could go up to about an hour if you want.

Ginger Soy Pork Chops Sauce

While the charcoal is getting ready, remove the pork from the marinade and set it on a plate ready to bring out to the grill.

Add the marinade to a saute pan with 1 tablespoon of brown sugar and 1 teaspoon of butter. You could omit the butter, but it gives the sauce a silkiness.

Heat up the sauce to a simmer and whisk it while simmering for a couple minutes. You are cooking out the raw pork juices as well as thickening the sauce. After a couple minutes, you will have a rich, dark sauce to pour over your pork chops when they are ready.

Ginger Soy Pork Chops Grilling

It’s time to grill. Over medium heat, grill the chops about 5 minutes per side, until the pork reaches an internal temperature of 145 degrees.

Top with the sauce, green onions, and toasted sesame seeds.

Try this with Asian Slaw and Fried Rice.

Enjoy!
