Grilled Brown Sugar Pork Chops

From: The Internet

Ingredients:
1/2 cup brown sugar, firmly packed
1/2 cup apple juice
4 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 tablespoon soy sauce
1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
salt and pepper to taste
2 teaspoons cornstarch
1/2 cup water
6 boneless pork chops



Preheat an outdoor grill for high heat. In a small saucepan, combine brown sugar, apple juice, oil, soy sauce, ginger, salt , and pepper. Bring to boil. Combine water and cornstarch in small bowl, and whisk into brown sugar mixture. Stir until thick. Brush grate lightly with oil before placing pork chops on the grill. Cook over hot coals for 10 to 12 minutes, turning once. Brush with sauce just before removing chops from grill. Serve with remaining sauce.


What I did differently from the recipe:
We had four pork chops so I just used a little less of everything.

What I'll do differently next time:
Nothing!

Verdict:
Thumbs up!! This was awesome! The sauce was really watery but it was still great. For leftovers, I put the pork chop over the wild rice and covered it with the leftover sauce. I almost want to say it was better that way than the first time I had it! This is a keeper!
