Pork Chop Brine

Step 1

In a medium-sized pot add water, kosher salt, sugar, peppercorns, bay leaf, and rosemary.

Step 2

Bring to a simmer over high heat. You do not need the water to rapidly boil but you need to make sure the salt and sugar have dissolved in the water.

Step 3

Remove the pot from the heat and cool completely.

Step 4

Once the brine is cool add the pork chops to a large ziptop bag and pour in the brine.

Step 5

Let the pork brine in the refrigerator for up to 2 hours.

Step 6

Rinse and pat dry before cooking.
