Coffee Marinade for pork chops? Yes please!

I tried this last night for the first time, and it will definitely be a repeat! Absolutely brilliant using your left over coffee, and amazingly easy. This recipe is from Alton Brown's "Good Eats".

Coffee Marinade for Pork:

1 c. Coffee
6 oz. Molassas
1 tbsp. Dijon Mustard
2 tbsp. Cider Vinegar
2 cloves garlic (crushed or minced)
1 tsp. Salt
1/2 tsp. Ginger (freshly grated)
1/2 tsp. Black Pepper
6 sprigs Thyme (fresh or frozen)

Combine all ingredients except Thyme in small bowl, mix well. Place pork chops in a gallon zip top bag with Thyme sprigs. Pour marinade into bag, close top, and shake to cover. Let sit overnight in fridge, or for 4 hours before grilling pork.

This marinade will probably cover up to 6 medium pork chops- I only did 3. Also I reserved the marinating liquid, then reduced it a little on the stove top and it made for an excellent sauce to pour over the cooked pork! Served along with whole grain rice and a garden salad, it's a wonderful meal!
