- 2 tablespoons turbinado sugar
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1/8 teaspoon cayenne powder
- 1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 4 teaspoons cider vinegar
- 4 pork chops, bone-in center cut 1-inch thick
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- Whisk whiskey, cider, sugar, mustard, cayenne, vanilla and 1 tsp vinegar together.
- Transfer 1/2 c of this mixture to a bag, add chops. Press air from bag and zip. Turn to coat chops. Put in refrigerator for at least 2 hours, longer is better.
- Keep remaining whiskey mixture separately.
- Remove chops from bag, pat dry, discard marinade.
- In small saucepan, heat remaining whiskey mixture to a simmer and reduce until thick and bubbly. Add the butter, whisking until melted in and the glaze has taken on a nice sheen.

- Turn chops, brush again with glaze.
- Internal temperature should be 145 when done.
