1/4 cup packed brown sugar
2 cups boiling water
2 cups or more ice cubes
2 tsp. chili powder
2 tsp. ground cumin
1/2 cup peach (or apricot) preserves
juice of 1 lime (about 3 Tbls)
1 large or 2 small jalapenos minced but not seeded
4-6 boneless, center-cut pork loin chops (trimmed of fat)
In medium bowl combine salt & brown sugar. Pour boiling water over and stir until dessolved. Add ice cubes, stir to cool. Add pork chops to large zip lock and pour cooled brine over chops. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes not more than one hour.

Heat grill. Remove pork chops from brine, pat dry with paper towels, season with pepper only.
Oil grates on grill, cook pork chops on both sides. Last minute of cooking brush pork with glaze.
