Cider Grilled Pork Chops

Ingredients

4 Loin pork chops, 1-inch thick
MARINADE:
1 1/2 cups apple cider
2 Tbs honey
2 Tbs soy sauce
2 Tbs fresh lemon juice
2 strips lemon zest
1/2 tsp dried sage
1 apple-- cored and chopped
2 scallions, finely chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 tsp fresh ginger, minced
salt and pepper
2 Tbs butter
1 Tbs melted butter
Directions

Trim any excess fat off pork chops. Arrange chops in baking dish just large enough to hold them. Combine cider, honey, soy sauce, lemon juice and zest, sage, apple, scallions, garlic and ginger in mixing bowl and stir until honey is dissolved. Pour marinade over pork and marinate, covered, for at least 2 hours (preferably 6 to 8 hours) in refrigerator, turning chops once or twice. Drain the pork chops from the marinade and blot dry. Strain marinade into saucepan and boil until thick and syrupy, 5 to 8 minutes. Whisk in butter and correct seasoning, adding salt and pepper to taste. Brush the chops on both sides with melted butter and grill until cooked to taste, 4 to 5 minutes per side for medium. Transfer pork to plates or platter and spoon cider glaze on top.
