A wet brine of salt, water, and maple syrup not only tenderizes meat but also enhances flavor with sweetness, caramelization, and additional spices.
For optimal results, allow pork chops to brine for at least 30 minutes, ideally 4-6 hours; beyond that, risks include excessive saltiness and undesirable texture.
Remove pork chops from the brine without rinsing, pat them dry, and they can be cooked on their own or used to enhance diverse recipes.
These sweet brined pork chops lend well to fruity accompaniments, like apple chutney or toppings that complement the maple flavor while maintaining a crunchy crust.
