Well, I'm back.... I'm back and refreshed and ready to face whatever life has to throw at me. And while I'm waiting for that.... I thought I would share this simple, delicious and a little bit spicy recipe with you. This quick marinade/glaze would work on chicken and beef too... I mean, come on, it's Tabasco and honey, it can pretty much go with anything!

Printable Recipe
Ingredients:
3 cups water
2 teaspoons kosher salt
2 teaspoons sugar
1 garlic clove, minced
1 teaspoon red pepper flakes
2 boneless pork loin chops
2 Tablespoons honey
2 teaspoons Tabasco
2 garlic cloves, finely minced
Directions:
In a large measuring cup, add the water, salt, sugar, garlic and red pepper flakes. Stir until salt and sugar and dissolved. Place the pork in a resealable bag in a bowl or shallow dish and pour brine mixture over them. Seal bag and place in fridge for 2 hours. Remove pork from brine and rinse thoroughly with cool water. Pat dry and set aside.
Preheat grill to 375 degrees F. Clean and oil grill grates. In a small bowl, mix together the honey, Tabasco and garlic. Brush both sides of the pork with mixture and place directly over the fire. Grill 4 minutes, brush and flip pork. Brush the grilled side with mixture and grill another 4 minutes or until the pork reaches an internal temperature of 140-145 degrees F. Brush with remaining mixture and remove from grill. Allow to cook for 4 minutes. Serve and enjoy!

Hurrah! You did a brine. Oh, and welcome home.
Looks wonderful, and I know Kevin would love this. No matter what I make, he tends to go to the refrig for the bottle of hot sauce. :-)
This sounds great. I like the sound of the honey and tobasco together on the pork! I never think of porkchops and this is tempting me to change that soon. I'm glad you enjoyed the break. Have a GREAT day!
Welcome back, hope your time away was nice :) This chop looks tasty and juicy. Diggin' the sweet spicy combo here.
I just noticed that you brought the pork to an absolutely perfect temp. Brava.
Welcome back! This looks so good. I love a good marinade - adding this one to the list!

Welcome back Jenn! Pork, tobacco and honey??? A big yum.
Ooh... That just looks sublime! Fantastic. Gotta love the grill marks too :)
I've been behind in reading, but this sounds very good
mmm sweet n spicy! Sounds like a winner :)
Okay, I wouldn't have tried that rub/marinade combo because I would have thought all the sugars would make it burn. Boy I was wrong, it looks beautiful, Jenn.
PS: Welcome back.
