Sweet and sour, and easy to flavor in a short amount of time! Pork chops should be added after water has been mixed into the mixture. Before cooking, let the pork chops soak in the brine for about two hours in the refrigerator.

Instructions
- Mix brown sugar, salt, mustard powder, and garlic powder in a large bowl. Pour in cider vinegar; stir until sugar and salt have dissolved. Add water; stir until well combined.
- I use quick fry pork chops with this recipe. I don’t add other spices. The brown sugar helps with the searing and makes a nice natural sauce out of it too!

Reviews
Very good brine, will definitely make pork chops this way again although, next time I might use slightly less salt. Maybe 1/3 cup vs. 1/2 cup.
I found it easy to make and added just enough flavor to enhance the taste of my first smoked Boston butt.
I used this brine recipe for a 4 lb. pork shoulder roast. I marinated overnight. I cooked in slow cooker and we ate it on onion rolls with some pickled peppers I canned. My family ate and ate. We all loved the bit of tangy flavor of the meat. Simple and easy.
left brine over night to long tart
