🍖 Homestead Smoked Honey Pork Chops

Servings: 4 | Prep Time: 15 minutes | Cook Time: 25 minutes

Smoked Honey Pork Chops — seasoned with the Homestead spice blend for the perfect smoky, sweet, and salty flavor.

🛒 Ingredients

• 4 bone-in pork chops (about 1 inch thick)
  
• 2 tbsp olive oil
  
• 2 tbsp Homestead spice blend
  
• 1 tbsp brown sugar (optional, for extra caramelization)
  
• 2 tbsp honey
  
• 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar or lemon juice
  
• 1 tbsp soy sauce
  
• Fresh parsley (for garnish)
  

👩‍🍳 Instructions

1. Season the Chops
   
   Pat pork chops dry with paper towels. Rub each chop with olive oil, then sprinkle generously with the Homestead spice blend. If you like extra caramelization, add a light dusting of brown sugar.
   
2. Marinate (Optional)
   
   For deeper flavor, let seasoned chops rest for 30 minutes or refrigerate up to 4 hours.
   
3. Sear for Flavor
   
   Heat a cast iron skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat. Sear chops for 2–3 minutes per side until golden brown.
   
4. Make the Glaze
   
   In a small bowl, whisk together honey, apple cider vinegar (or lemon juice), and soy sauce. Brush over the chops.
   
5. Finish Cooking
   
   Reduce heat to medium-low. Continue cooking chops for 5–7 minutes per side (internal temp 145°F/63°C), brushing with glaze occasionally.
   
6. Rest & Serve
   
   Remove from heat and let rest for 5 minutes. Garnish with parsley and drizzle with any leftover glaze. Serve with roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or grilled corn.
