 The tangy peach barbecue sauce that glazes these pork chops
 is incredible on grilled chicken or salmon as well. Bone-in
 pork chops (as opposed to boneless) are less likely to dry
 out.

 Place 1/4 cup salt and brown sugar in a medium heatproof
 bowl. Pour in boiling water and stir to dissolve. Add ice
 cubes and stir to cool. Add pork chops, cover and
 refrigerate for at least 30 minutes or up to 4 hours.

 Puree peaches, tomato and vinegar in a food processor until
 smooth.

 About 30 minutes before youÆre ready to cook the pork chops,
 heat oil in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat. Add
 onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until golden brown, 5
 to 7 minutes. Add ginger and cook, stirring frequently,
 until fragrant, 1 to 2 minutes. Add the peach puree, the
 remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt, honey and pepper to taste.
 Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce the heat to a
 simmer. Cook until reduced by about half, 20 to 25 minutes.
 Reserve 1/4 cup of the sauce for basting the chops; keep the
 remaining sauce warm in the saucepan until ready to serve.

 Preheat grill to medium.

 Remove the pork chops from the brine (discard brine), rinse
 well, and thoroughly dry with paper towels. Season the chops
 with 1/4 teaspoon pepper and brush both sides with some of
 the reserved sauce.

 Grill the pork chops, turning once, until an instant-read
 thermometer inserted into the center registers 145║F, 2 to 4
 minutes per side. Transfer to a plate, tent with foil and
 let rest for 5 minutes. Serve with the warm peach barbecue
 sauce on the side.
