ingredients

1 cup strong coffee, cooled
6 ounces molasses, by weight
2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 teaspoon kosher salt
¹⁄₂ teaspoon ground ginger
6 -8 sprigs fresh thyme
¹⁄₂ teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
4 pork chops, 1-inch thick bone-in (6 to 8-ounce)

directions

Place all of the ingredients into a 1-gallon zip top bag, seal, and shake to combine.
Place in the refrigerator to marinate for at least 2 hours or up to overnight.
Preheat grill to medium-high.
Remove the pork chops from the marinade.
Transfer the marinade to a small saucepan and place over high heat.
Bring to a boil, reduce heat to medium-high, and boil gently, stirring often, until reduced to about 1/2 cup liquid, 12 to 15 minutes.
Remove the thyme stems after the glaze has reduced.
Meanwhile, grill pork chops 3 to 4 minutes per side or until they reach an internal temperature of 145 degrees F.
Allow the pork chops to rest 4 to 5 minutes before serving with the glaze.
