If you are grilling them soon there probably isn't any point in marinating them, they won't have time to soak up the flavour!. Put a good steak rub on them instead but for next time, equal portions of soya sauce, olive oil and lemon juice make a good marinade!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
This is a "take off" on an Emeril recipe for pork loin!.!.!. apple and brandy flavors taste amazing on pork!.
Apple-Brandy Grilled Pork Chops
1 cup apple juice
1/4 cup plus 1 tablespoon brandy

1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground allspice
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
4 pork chops (preferably boneless)
1/2 cup heavy cream
1 teaspoon Essence, recipe follows
To make the marinade, in a bowl, combine the apple juice, brandy, brown sugar, mustard, oil, 1 teaspoon of the salt, 12 teaspoon of the pepper, the cinnamon, allspice, and cayenne and whisk well to combine and dissolve the sugar!.
Place the loin in a large re-sealable plastic bag and add the marinade!. Seal and place in a large baking dish!. Let marinate in the refrigerator for 2-4 hours, turning occasionally!.
Preheat a grill to medium-low heat (230 degrees to 250 degrees F)!.
Remove the pork from the marinade and pat dry, and season lightly with the Essence and the remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper!.
Grill the chops with the grill lid closed, turning several times, until an instant-read thermometer registers an internal temperature of 145 degrees F when inserted into the thickest portion of the meat, about 45 minutes, depending upon the thickness of the meat!.
Remove the pork from the grill, cover loosely with aluminum foil, and let rest for 10 minutes before serving!. While the meat is resting cook reduce the marinade on the stovetop by 1/2 then stir in the cream and cook one more minute!. Serve sauce on the side or drizzled lightly over the pork!.

Indonesian Pork Chops
3 tablespoons lime juice
3 tablespoons reduced-sodium soy sauce
3 tablespoons stir-fry sauce
3/4 teaspoon ground ginger
1 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
3 garlic cloves, minced
4 pork chops
Combine first six ingredients in large ziplock and mix!. Then add pork chops to marinade and set in refrigerator for at least an hour (turning once halfway through marinating!.)
Discard marinade and grill as usual (in my opinion pork should be cooked to only 145-150 degrees, or medium rare) but at least don't overcook them!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
