The name, vodka, comes from the Russian phrase zhiznennaia voda, or "water of life". It can be made from everything from potatoes to beets. It's considered to be fairly flavorless which makes it a great liquor for mixed drinks.


4 (12 ounce size) pork loin rib chops, cut 1.25 inches thick
1 can (8 ounce size) jellied cranberry sauce
1/3 cup apricot or peach preserves or apricot or peach spreadable fruit
1/4 cup chopped onion
1 tablespoon lemon juice or cider vinegar
1 canned chipotle pepper in adobo sauce or fresh jalapeno chili pepper, seeded and chopped
Trim fat from chops. Prepare grill for indirect grilling. Test for medium heat above the drip pan.
Place the chops on the grill rack over the drip pan. Cover and grill the chops for 35 to 40 minutes or until an instant-read thermometer inserted in center of meat registers 160 degrees F, turning once halfway through grilling.
Meanwhile, for sauce, in a small saucepan combine the cranberry sauce, preserves or spreadable fruit, onion, lemon juice or vinegar, and chipotle or jalapeno pepper. Bring to a boil, stirring constantly.
Reduce heat. Simmer uncovered for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
To serve, brush chops with some of the sauce and pass remaining sauce with chops.

Ah, the unassuming envelope of onion soup mix. It's more than just for onion soup (or dip). It adds tremendous flavor (and convenience) in all these recipes.
Beer makes batters better, meat more tender, and sauces more flavorful.
