- 1 carrot, chopped
- 1 celery, chopped
- 4 pork chops, 1" thick

- 2 teaspoons olive oil
- 3 large Maui onions, thinly sliced
- 1 cup orange juice concentrate

- 1 tablespoon cider vinegar

Instructions
Pork Chops
- In a large bowl, combine all ingredients except pork chops. Stir until sugar and salt are dissolved.
- Place pork chops in brine and refrigerate for at least 8 hours (overnight is best).
- Remove pork chops from brine and rinse lightly.
- Preheat the grill.
- Cook for about 10-12 minutes on low to medium heat until done. Low grilling heat is necessary because sugar content in the brine will cause the chops to scorch over high heat.
- Serve with Orange & Maui Onion Marmalade.
Marmelade
- Heat olive oil on medium heat in a large, heavy bottomed sauce pan.
- Add the onions and sauté for about 2 minutes until the onions start to soften.
- Add the orange juice, brown sugar, vinegar, cinnamon stick and 5 Spice.
- Reduce heat to medium low.
- Simmer, stirring occasionally, until mixture is thick and syrupy, about 45 minutes.
- Season to taste.
