STICKY & TANGY BBQ PORK CHOPS

STICKY & TANGY BBQ PORK CHOPS

My mother is a killer in the kitchen, she could take anything from the fridge and cupboard and there would be a meal that was most generally asked for time and time again. Well, almost anything when we were kids she made a spaghetti that was god awful, so bad that she didn’t like it, but dad loved it and asked for it all the time so she made it for him and we were forced to choke it down.  Happily, she did find a better recipe and made it her own.  But to this day, I still have a hard time eating spaghetti.

Mom could take left overs and make a completely different meal out it and you’d never know they were from a day or two before.  Leftovers were always for lunch, we never had them for dinner, that was a fresh meal every night. When we had pork chops there was always the possibility of STICKY & TANGY BBQ PORK CHOPS.

This recipe is so versatile, you can use any kind of beer, ale, stout, pilsner or non-alcoholic. You can use ketchup or chili sauce, toss in a little hot sauce if you want it spicy.  I’ve even been known to put a couple spoonful’s of frozen orange juice concentrate to add a little sweetness. What to do with the left over orange concentrate? Adjust the water to make the juice and have a mimosa! Cheers!
