Servings: Serves four adults

Equipment:
A stovetop
Any grill of your choice. (I prefer any grill with a smoker lid) Charcoal briquettes.
A long-handled fork or spatula.
A spray bottle filled with water.
A 1-2-quart saucepan
A slotted spoon

Cooking time: 20 minutes to 30 minutes. Depending on how thoroughly cooked you desire.

Ingredients: Four large butterfly cut boneless and skinless pork chops.
1 cup of white distilled vinegar
1 heaping tbsp. of pickling spice
2 tbsp. of brown sugar substitute
1 tbsp of garlic powder
1 small diced onion
1 small lemon
1 cup of Worcestershire sauce
2 cups of water

Directions:
First you will prepare your marinade. So set up all your seasonings pre-measured to the side. Take your pickling spice and wrap it up securely in a coffee filter or a piece of cheesecloth. Tying it off with a piece of string or thread to keep the pickling spice inside. Take your pickling spice package and place it in a 1-2 quart saucepan. Take your lemon and squeeze the juice and seeds into the saucepan atop the pickling spice. Combine the rest of your ingredients and stir them gently with your slotted spoon being careful as not to burst open your pickling spice pack. After this place your sauce pan on your stove top at medium heat for 15 minutes stirring gently all the while to blend all the ingredients into a sensational marinade. After 15 minutes remove the saucepan from the stovetop and set to the side and let cool for about 15 to 20 minutes.

While the marinade is cooling take your butterfly pork-chops and rinse them under cool water. Then place them in a 1-2-quart bowl and pour the marinade over them when it has cooled. Gently move the pork-chops around in the marinade and set the bowl to the side or in the refrigerator. Let the pork chops marinate for at least an hour. It is at its best it you when let it marinate overnight to fully season and tenderize.

Prepare your grill according to your specifications. You know how you like your grill set up. The only thing that is really required is that the grill is not too hot. Let your charcoal cool down until you can leave your hand 8 inches over the grill for about 4 seconds before you HAVE to remove it.

Place the marinated pork-chops on the grill and use the marinade as a dip to keep the chops moist. Keep your spray-bottle of water handy for sudden flare-ups.

Ten to fifteen minutes on each side should suffice to thoroughly cook the chops.

After 20-30 minutes your meal will be done and you have to fight off the neighbors, their kids, and their pets to serve you and yours this delicious entree!

Have a merry meal and remember to take a 20-minute walk after the food settles a little. It will do you some good!

Delicious Dining!*
