4 bone-in center-cut pork chops (about 1/2 inch thick) — (6-ounce)
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Combine first 3 ingredients in a bowl, stirring with a whisk until sugar and salt dissolve. Pour water mixture into a large zip-top plastic bag. Add tarragon, rind, juice, and pork to bag; seal. Marinate in refrigerator 2 hours, turning bag occasionally.
