Kick those grilled pork chops up a couple of notches with a fruity apricot glaze. Let’s take boring out of the chop with this easy recipe.

I love a nice grilled pork chop. But pork can lack a little in taste so a fruity glaze is a great change of pace.

I generally use a 1 inch slice of center cut pork loin as my chops. But with this recipe you can use standard bone in chops also. I decided to use a simple brine to moisturize the loin before hitting the flames. I would normally use some brown sugar in a brine for pork but here I was adding enough sweetness later. If you use apricot preserves instead of jam, you could add a tablespoon of brown sugar to each cup of brine.

Start with a brine of 2 cups cold water, 2 tablespoons salt and 1 tablespoon of garlic powder. Add pork chops and refrigerate for 1-2 hours
