1. Combine the apple cider, apple cider vinegar, brown sugar and 1/3 cup whiskey in a saucepan and bring to a boil over medium-high heat.

2. Reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer for about 50 to 60 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the liquid is syrupy and thick enough to coat a spoon.

3. Meanwhile, pat the pork chops dry. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat with no added fat and sear the chops 4 to 5 minutes per side until browned. Transfer to a plate.

4. Stir the honey into the reduced glaze off the heat and keep it warm.

5. Pour the 3 tablespoons whiskey into the skillet, scraping up the browned bits, and simmer for 1 minute. Stir in the glaze mixture.

6. Return the chops to the skillet, reduce heat to medium-low, spoon the glaze over them, and cook 8 to 10 minutes, turning once, until the thickest part reaches 145°F (63°C).

7. Rest the chops on a plate for 3 minutes, spooning the remaining glaze over them before serving.
