Brine

2 cups water 1/4 cup kosher salt 2 tablespoons brown sugar 12 black peppercorns 2.5 cups ice Up to 4 thick, bone in pork chops - 1/2 to 3/4 pound each should do it

Put water, salt, sugar & peppercorns in a pot over medium heat, stir until the salt is melted, then kill the heat and add ice When cooled, put chops in a container and cover with the brine up to 24 hours

Glaze

Combine all glaze ingredients except cornstarch and water in a small pot over medium heat and mix well Let simmer 5 minutes, then stir the cornstarch and water together and stir into the glaze - let thicken then remove from heat and set aside Cook

When ready to cook heat grill to medium high, lightly oil chops and season with salt & pepper Put on the grill and cook about 4 minutes, then flip - once each side has good grill marks start basting with the glaze Continue cooking, turning and brushing with the glaze until 140 degrees, remove and let rest 5 minutes before serving
