Total Time1 hr 10 min: Prep: 50 min Cook: 20 min Yield:6 servings Level:Easy

Ingredients
1/2 cup gin
1/2 cup dry vermouth
1 cup sugar
Kosher salt
2 sprigs rosemary
2 bay leaves
1 tablespoon coriander seeds
6 center-cut T-bone pork chops (1 inch thick; 4 1/2 pounds total)
1 small red onion, chopped
1/3 cup white wine vinegar
1 tablespoon mustard seeds
1 1/2 teaspoons finely grated ginger
Pinch of red pepper flakes
4 medium plums, pitted and chopped into 1/2-inch pieces
1 tablespoon dijon mustard
Freshly ground pepper

Directions
Make the brine: Combine 1 cup water, the gin, vermouth, 1/2 cup each sugar and salt, the rosemary, bay leaves and coriander in a large saucepan and bring to a boil. Remove from the heat and stir in 6 cups water and 2 cups ice; let cool to room temperature. Pour the brine over the pork chops in a large bowl, cover and refrigerate at least 4 hours or overnight.

Meanwhile, make the chutney: Combine the red onion, the remaining 1/2 cup sugar, the vinegar, mustard seeds, ginger, red pepper flakes and a pinch of salt in a medium saucepan and bring to a simmer over medium heat. Cook 3 minutes, then add half of the plums and cook, stirring occasionally, until the sauce thickens and the plums are tender, about 10 minutes. Add the remaining plums and cook until the first batch of plums starts falling apart and the second batch is just tender, about 8 more minutes. Stir in the mustard and let cool to room temperature.
