Honey-Garlic Pork Chops

When I first started cooking in earnest (just before getting married 10 years ago) this was one of the first recipes I tried. This recipe is courtesy of the pork producers and I can see why they would give out this recipe: you will want to buy more and more pork so you can keep making this! I served it for my family that summer and my parents immediately declared it their "summer specialty" and made it for all their guests that summer.

It's tasty, easy, and quick - it only takes a few minutes to throw together the marinade, and then you're done until it's grilling time.

I measure the marinade into a glass measuring cup - that way there's only one dirty dish!

Combine the lemon juice and soy sauce.



Then add the honey. If you do it in this order, the honey won't stick!



Next add the minced garlic, and stir well to mix all the ingredients. Place the pork chops in a large zip top plastic bag, and pour the marinade over the chops. Seal the bag, and then shake it up to make sure the chops are covered with the marinade.



Place the bag in the refrigerator and let the meat marinate for 4-24 hours.

Grill the pork chops for 12-15 minutes, turning once. (You could also broil them.)
