Jerk Pork Chops with Grilled Pineapple

Jerk Pork Chops...Can you imagine that?  Can you get to that?   I love Jerk Chicken...So just imagine Jerk Pork Chops??
These pork chops pack a fiery punch thanks to a spice rub of cayenne pepper, jerk seasoning, garlic, and fresh lime peel. A little light brown sugar helps create their crispy glaze on the grill alongside vibrant pineapple slices and sweet potato chunks.

INGREDIENTS:

1 baby pineapple

1/2 regular pineapple, (can be substituted for above ingredient)

1 lime

2 tablespoon(s) jerk seasoning

1 tablespoon(s) olive oil

4 pork loin chops, 3/4 inch thick, about 8 ounces each with bone

Lime wedges and cilantro sprigs , for garnish

DIRECTIONS:

With sharp knife, cut pineapple lengthwise through crown to stem end in 4 wedges, leaving on leafy crown.

From lime, grate 1/2 teaspoon peel and squeeze 1 tablespoon juice. In small bowl, mix lime peel and juice with jerk seasoning and oil. Rub both sides of pork chops with jerk mixture.

Place pork chops on hot grill rack over medium heat; cook 10 to 12 minutes, turning chops over once, until browned on the outside and still slightly pink on the inside. While chops are cooking, add pineapple wedges, cut sides down, to same grill; cook 5 minutes, turning wedges over once. Transfer chops and pineapple to same platter. Garnish with lime wedges and cilantro sprigs.

Don't Sweat the TIPS & TECHNIQUES:
 Seasoning mixes vary among manufacturers, especially with regard to salt content. Add salt to taste if necessary.
