Grilled Pork Chops with Hawaiian Marinade

Pork seems to soak up the flavor of marinades like a sponge, and you can bake, fry, broil, grill or cook it just about any way you like.  Here is a delicious Hawaiian Marinade that I've tried and enjoy!

Times:

Prep. Time - 5 Minutes. Cook Time - 10 Minutes. Marinade time - 10 hours.

Ingredients:

4 Pork Chops

2 six oz cans pineapple juice unsweetened (1 1/2 cups),

3 scallions (white parts sliced into thin rounds),

3 tablespoons ginger (peeled and minced),

3 tablespoons soy sauce (reduced sodium),

2 tablespoons Asian sesame oil (dark),

2 tablespoons light brown sugar,

3/4 teaspoons fleshy ground black pepper,

1/2 teaspoon coarse salt.

Cooking Directions:

Mix pineapple juice, white parts of scallions, ginger, soy sauce, sesame oil, brown sugar, pepper and salt together in large, resealable bag. Add chops, seal bag and refrigerate for 2 to 10 hours.

Prepare a medium-hot fire in grill. Brush grill grate clean and lightly oil grate. Remove chops from marinade, shaking off excess marinade. Do not pat dry. Discard remaining marinade. Grill chops directly over heat, turning once, until internal temperature on a thermometer reads 145 degrees Fahrenheit, 8 to 10 minutes, followed by a 3-minute rest time.
