Pork Chop Brine

In a medium-sized saucepan, add water, kosher salt, sugar, peppercorns, bay leaf, and rosemary.

Bring to a simmer over high heat. You do not need the water to rapidly boil but you need to make sure the salt and sugar have dissolved in the water.

Remove the pot from the heat and cool completely.

Once the brine is cool add the pork chops to a large ziptop bag and pour in the brine.

Let the pork brine in the refrigerator for up to 2 hours.

Rinse and pat dry before cooking.
