Ingredients:

• 3/4 cup + 2 tablespoons pineapple juice divided

• 1 1/3 cups Sassy & Bold Pepper Jamy divided

• 1 shallot thinly sliced

Instructions

In a medium bowl, whisk together 3/4 cup pineapple juice, 1 cup pepper jelly, shallot, cilantro, 1/4 cup oil and 1 teaspoon salt.

Place pork chops in a large, resealable plastic bag and pour in the pepper jelly mixture. Seal bag and refrigerate for at least 8 hours, or overnight.

Remove pork from bag and discard marinade. Brush pork with remaining oil and season with remaining 1 teaspoon salt and pepper. Let stand at room temperature for 20-30 minutes. Preheat grill to medium heat.

Grill pork until a meat thermometer reads 140 degrees, about 12-15 minutes, turning once halfway through cooking time. Remove from grill and let stand 5 minutes.

Meanwhile, whisk together remaining 1/3 cup pepper jelly and 2 tablespoons pineapple juice. While pork rests, grill pineapple for about 2 minutes per side, or until grill marks form.

Arrange the pork and pineapple on a platter and brush with the pepper jelly and pineapple mixture before serving.
