Jodi’s Apple Cider Glazed Pork Chops

Pork Chops come from the part of the pig known as the loin which runs from the shoulder to the hip of the pig. The loin contains shoulder chops (also know as blade chops), loin chops, rib chops and sirloin chops. The long marinating time in this recipe helps tenderize the chop before searing on a high heat and then grilling at a lower temperature on the Memphis.
