Sweet and Tangy Soy Sauce Marinade for Pork Chops, Plus

adapted by Gay Griffin July 3, 2015, from the June, 2015 issue of Better Homes and Gardens magazine

I marinated thin pork chops in a double batch of this overnight, then layered them in a slow cooker with shredded cabbage, sliced onion and colored peppers. Poured the marinade on top. About three hours on high, and we had a tasty dinner!

4  6 to 7 oz. bone-in pork chops (I used more, thin ones for more flavor penetration)

1/2 cup reduced sodium soy sauce
6 T. lime juice (Now I use True Lime Powder. I don’t think the amount of maltodextrin is enough to matter much. I got tired of throwing away unused limes.)
¼ c. sugar equivalent sweetener (I have used Splenda and stevia drops)
2 T. flavorless oil of your choice
2 T. apple cider vinegar
1.5 – 2 T.. grated fresh ginger
freshly ground black pepper to taste

Whisk together the marinade ingredients. Taste and adjust seasonings to your preference.

Pour over pork chops. A zip type plastic bag works well. Let them marinate at least 20 minutes. (I’d marinate them a lot longer than that, especially if using thicker chops.)  

Cook the chops however you like. 

Low Carb "Honey Mustard" Sauce & Salad Dressing

Mayberryfan's Low Carb "Honey Mustard" Sauce

Adapted by Gay Griffin

I made a double batch of this and served it as both a sauce and salad dressing over lettuce salad and apple smoked pork butt. Delicious!  9-8-15 

1 cup mayonnaise (Duke’s preferred)
2 tablespoons cider vinegar
4 teaspoons yellow mustard
1.5 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon paprika

A couple shakes of True Orange orange ginger flavor crystals
7 teaspoons sugar equivalent LC friendly sweetener

Throw all ingredients into a bowl and beat until smooth.

This makes a good salad dressing, sauce for meat, or seasoning for chicken in a slow cooker, just for starters.
