Bourbon Apple Cider and Honey Glazed Pork Chops

Ingredients

• cup sapple cider
• 1/2 cup honey
• 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
• tablespoon sbrown sugar
• 1/3 cup whiskey (such as Jack Daniel's®)
• tablespoon swhiskey (such as Jack Daniel's®)
• thick center-cut pork chops

Instructions

1. Stir apple cider, honey, cider vinegar, and brown sugar in a saucepan over medium heat. Bring to a simmer and reduce heat to low, stirring often, until the mixture reduces to 2/3 cup, about 20 minutes.
2. Simmer 1/3 cup whiskey in a separate small saucepan over medium low heat until steam no longer smells of alcohol, about 10 minutes; stir into the apple cider mixture. Reduce this mixture to 1/2 cup, forming an apple cider glaze and cool.
3. Stir 3 tablespoons whiskey into apple cider glaze.
4. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
5. Place pork chops into a baking dish; brush with the apple cider glaze.
6. Bake chops in the preheated oven, basting them often with glaze, until tender, about 1 hour. If desired, bring any remaining glaze to a boil in a saucepan and drizzle over chops to serve.

Tips

If you wanna know when the alcohol is cooked off enough, this is what I do. I smell the vapor coming off the pot. If it just about knocks you down, it still needs to reduce a bit more. If you get a buzz, turn it off and go lay down, lol.
