Maple Braised Pork Chops

I have been wanting to try this recipe for a LONG time now!!! And I must admit I was very disappointed, I ended up taking about 3 bites of pork chop and ate my sides. I am not sure what it was but just wasn't my thing. :-(

Maple Braised Pork Chops (From: Joelen)

• 1-2 lbs pork ribs (I used pork chops)
• 2 tablespoons real maple syrup
• 2 teaspoons cumin
• 2 teaspoons chili powder
• 2 teaspoons paprika
• 2 teaspoons onion powder
• 2 teaspoons garlic powder
• 1 tablespoon brown sugar
• splash of worchestershire sauce
• salt & pepper to taste
• 1/4 cup chicken stock for the bottom of the crockpot

Combine above ingredients (except pork chops) in a bowl. Consistency will slightly clumpy and paste like. Coat pork ribs with this paste using your hands - a basting brush isn't as effective.

Place coated pork in a dutch oven or in a shallow baking pan. Bake in a preheated oven at 300 degrees for 3-4 hours OR Place coated pork in your crockpot and cook on low for 6 hours.
