How to Make Brown Sugar Glazed Pork Chops

  1. Preheat grill to high heat for 10 minutes.
  2. While the grill preheats, prepare the glaze: In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine 1/2 cup packed brown sugar, 1/4 cup apple juice, 1 tablespoon canola oil, 2 tablespoons soy sauce, 1 teaspoon grated ginger, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper. Bring to a boil.
  3. In a small bowl, whisk together 1 tablespoon cornstarch and 2 tablespoons cold water until smooth. Pour into the boiling brown sugar mixture.
  4. Cook, stirring constantly, until the glaze thickens and bubbles (about 1-2 minutes).
  5. Reduce grill heat to medium-high.
  6. Lightly oil the grill grates. Place pork chops on the grill and cook for 6-8 minutes per side, or until a meat thermometer inserted into the thickest part registers 160°F. Baste the chops frequently with the brown sugar glaze during cooking.
  7. Remove from grill and let rest for 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy!
