- 8 ounces pineapple rings 1 can, juice drained and reserved
- ¼ cup light brown sugar packed
- ¼ cup soy sauce
- ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon ground ginger
- ⅛ teaspoon ground black pepper
- 4 boneless pork chops 3/4'' - 1'' thick
Instructions
- In a large plastic Ziploc bag mix together the drained pineapple juice, brown sugar, soy sauce, garlic powder, ginger powder and black pepper. Smush the bag with your hands to dissolve the sugar. Reserve 1/2 cup marinade and set aside for basting.
- Place the pork chops into the marinade. Squeeze out any air in bag, seal and place in refrigerator at least 4 hours or overnight. Reserve the pineapple rings.
- Preheat grill to 350 degree Fahrenheit. Rub grates with oil.
- Remove pork chops from marinade. Shake off excess. Place on grill and grill 5-8 minute per side. Brush with reserved marinade several times while grilling.
- While pork is grilling, place pineapple rings onto the grill and allow to cook until hot and the slices show grill marks then remove from grill.
- Remove pork chops from grill when internal temperature reaches 140 degrees Fahrenheit. Cover with tinfoil and let rest 5-10 minutes. Then top with pineapple slices to serve.

Notes
Stove Top Preparation
These can also be made on the stove top in a grill pan if you don’t want to use a grill to prepare them.
All the steps are the same, we pull the pork chops out of the skillet, cover and let them rest while we grill the pineapple in the same skillet.
