Rosemary Mustard Marinated Pork Chops

1/3 C. Lemon Juice
1/3 C. Extra Virgin Olive Oil
1/4 C. Pure Honey
1/3 C. Dijon Mustard
5 Cloves garlic Minced
1T. Chipotle Tabasco
Fresh Rosemary chopped
Zest from 1 lemon
5 pork chops

Mix all marinade ingredients together. Place pork chops in bag and pour in marinade. Get out as much air as possible from freezer bag. Marinade for 24 hours.

YOUR INSTRUCTIONS:


Thaw pork chops completely before grilling. Grill pork chops to desired doneness. I prefer to leave a little pink in the middle for maximum juice factor. This will not take long to grill! You can brush pork chops with marinade while grilling for stronger flavor.

Enjoy!

Pulled Pork Sandwiches

This weekend we cooked a 76 lb. pig. The pork for your sandwiches was first carved from that pig and then slow cooked with BBQ sauce, raw honey, cider vinegar, and spices. All you need to do is heat the meat and top your sandwich with coleslaw. Do not freeze the coleslaw, it will keep in your refrigerator for 1 month.
