    • How To Make A Vinaigrette.  This explains the process of getting the oil in the marinade to become thick and combined.

    How Long Is My Pork Chop Marinade Good For?

    Since this pork chop marinade is made of primarily shelf-stable ingredients, the only hangup is the fresh herbs. As a result, this marinade can keep in the refrigerator completely made for about one week.  If you would like to keep a larger batch of it, you can just omit the herbs. Then you can just add them in when you’re ready to use the marinade.

    Without the herbs, this marinade can last in the fridge up to a month! There may be some separation during storage, but a quick whisking with a fork will recombine it. If you decide to freeze this marinade, it will keep frozen for up to 6 months.

    As with any marinade, please discard the unused leftovers once you are done marinating. Since it has come into contact with other foods, you don’t want to risk food-borne illnesses. Stay safe.

    How Long To Marinate Your Pork Chops

    Figuring out how long to marinate your pork chops is mostly about your goal. If you only want to add flavor, they just need a brief period of time; usually, one to two hours. If you are trying to tenderize your pork chops however, they can be marinated up to overnight.

    They type of pork chops you choose can also impact how long to marinate. It doesn’t really matter whether you choose bone-in or boneless chops, but the size of them does. The thicker the chops are, the more time you’ll want to give them to tenderize or absorb flavor.

    How To Cook With This Pork Chop Marinade

    The important thing to say up front is that you shouldn’t use a marinade when frying. This is a great recipe for baked pork chops, however. The vinegars add a surprisingly sweet flavor profile that makes it a crowd pleaser. Even small kids enjoy the flavor of it, which makes it a fantastic marinade for quick and easy dinners or back to school meals.

    This also tends to be a fan favorite for grilling because the flame changes the flavors of the sugars in the marinade for a “manlier” flavor profile.

        Yes, I have. The flavors work really well with pork, but I've also had excellent success with chicken and beef. It's a bit overpowering for seafood and veggies, though.

      This sounds like one delicious marinade! There is no going wrong here with all those flavourful ingredients. We have so much tarragon growing in our garden now and this would be a great way to use some of it 🙂

        I love that you're growing tarragon! It's such an underutilized herb and one of the things that makes this such a great recipe (in my opinion).
