I did a quick dry cure on some pork chops using a mix of 1TBs tenderquick and 1 tsp of turbinado sugar PER pound of meat.
After rubbing the cure on the chops, I let them cure for about 2 hours, then rinsed.
The cured chops...

I made my stuffing using some jalapeno cornbread. The cornbread already contains jalapenos, whole corn and onions, so I added a bit of melted butter, chicken broth and some thyme.
