Honey Pork Chops

6 boneless pork chops

1/2 cup honey

1/4 cup cider vinegar

1/4 t. ground ginger

1 clove garlic, minced

2 T. soy sauce (or Bragg's Liquid Aminos)

dash of pepper

Place all ingredients (except pork) into a gallon ziploc bag and shake (or put in a blender and blend). Place pork into the marinade and seal the bag. You may freeze them at this point. Or let marinade overnight in the fridge. I like to grill the pork chops, but the directions say to bake them for 1 hour at 350 (that seems like a long time to me).

Pork Carnitas

I couldn't find what I wanted in a recipe for Carnitas so I had to make up my own. Here's what I did...

3-4 lbs Pork Butt
1 1/2 tsp chipotle chili powder
2 tsp chili powder
1 1/2 tsp cumin
1 Tbs salt (will probably use a little less next time)
1/2 Tbs pepper
dash of cinnamon
1 tsp Adobo
3 tsp minced garlic
3 bay leaves
1 can of beef consume
1 whole container of lime juice (the one that is shaped like a little lime)

I mixed all the seasonings together and rubbed the pork. I placed the pork into the crock pot and poured the liquids over it. I then cooked the pork for 8 hours on low (or until it shreds easily). This is awesome for any type of Mexican dish you wish to create.
