Ingredients:  
4-6 thick cut pork chops

For the Brine:

1 cup of salt (a bit less if you want)
1 cup of brown sugar
1 T whole peppercorns
1 T ground mustard
1 cup of boiling hot microwaved apple cider vinegar
12 ice cubes
Directions:
Directions:
To make the brine mix the salt, brown sugar, ground mustard, and pepper into a decent sized plastic bowl, or large Ziploc bag. Microwave 1 cup of apple cider vinegar and pour it over the dry ingredients and gave them a nice mix to dissolve everything. Then I tossed in the ice cubes so I wouldn’t be cooking my pork chops in boiling brine. Finally the pork chops went into the brine and the whole thing went into the fridge for 2 hours (no more than 2 hours or you’ll have a salty mess). Cook the pork chops on the BBQ grill or on the stove top. Very moist and tender. Great flavor.
