Thinking about making Pork Chops for a holiday dinner? Breckenridge created a delicious pork chop sauce using their Christmas Ale:
1 onion, diced
3 cloves garlic, minced
15 oz. tomato sauce
2 cups Breckenridge Brew Christmas Ale
2 tbsp vinegar
4 tbsp worcestershire sauce
1/4 cup butter
1 tbsp celery seed
1 tsp dry mustard
1 1/2 tbsp sugar
1 tsp salt
1 tsp black pepper
1 dash liquid hot pepper seasoning
Instructions:
Combine all ingredients in a 2-quart saucepan. Bring to a boil, reduce heat, and simmer 20 minutes, stirring frequently. Sear your pork chops on the grill, about 4 minutes each side. Baste the chops liberally with sauce and return to grill. Over low heat, cook chops 15-20 minutes or until done, turning every five minutes, basting with sauce before each turn.
