* 1 Tbsp. molasses
* 1/2 tsp. lemon juice
* 4 Tbsp. coarsely ground black pepper
* 1/4 c. butter
* 1 Tbsp. molasses
* 1/2 tsp. lemon juice
* 4 Tbsp. coarsely ground black pepper
What to do:
1. In small bowl blend butter, molasses and lemon juice with fork. Cover and refrigerate.
2. Rub chops on both sides evenly with pepper. Grill chops over a medium-hot fire for 12-15 min., turning once, until thermometer reads 145°, followed by a 3-min. rest time. Top each chop with a Tbsp. of molasses butter.
* Random Cooking Tip: For marinated pork chops, put pork in a self-sealing bag with marinade in the refrigerator first thing in the morning. By suppertime, pork chops can be removed from marinade (dispose of used marinade) and are ready to grill.
