Pineapple Rum Marinated Pork Chops

June 21, 2013 by Jaida 6 Comments

When Sarah announced the theme for this recipe swap to be cooking/baking with alcohol, I was excited to see what kind of recipe I would get. I cook a good bit with wine, and various liquors, but I wasn’t sure if I would wind up with a dinner recipe or a dessert! When I received this recipe from Ashley at Cheese Curd in Paradise, I was pretty sure it was going to be a hit.

Pineapple-Rum Pork Chops
I wound up cooking these at home on my George Foreman grill, and it worked out very nicely. I marinated them for just a couple of hours, and then decided that while they were cooking I would thrown the marinade in a pot and cook it down into a sauce instead of dumping it down the drain. I’m really glad I did because it added a lot of great flavor! Other than the marinating time, this dish is quick to prepare, and chock full of flavor!! Mmm Rum!
Be sure to check out all the other great dishes from this swap, below!
Pineapple Rum Marinated Pork Chops
As seen on Cheese Curd in Paradise
Ingredients
  • 4 pork chops
  • 1/2 cup light rum (I used Bacardi)
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce
  • 1/2 cup pineapple juice
  • 2 Tbsp olive oil
  • 2 Tbsp lemon juice + 1 tsp zest
  • 1 Tbsp Dijon mustard
  • 1 Tbsp molasses
  • 2 tsp grated ginger
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/2 tsp pepper

Preparation

  1. In a resealable bag or container with a lid, combine the rum, soy sauce, pineapple juice, olive oil, lemon juice/zest, Dijon mustard, molasses, ginger, garlic, and pepper and mix well.
  2. Add the pork chops, place in the refrigerator and marinate a minimum of 2 hours to overnight.
  3. Heat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat and spray with cooking spray. Depending on the thickness of your chops (mine were pretty thin), cook for 2-4 minutes per side, until no longer pink in the middle.
  4. Meanwhile, place the remaining marinade in a small pot, over medium-high heat, and cook until slightly reduced. Serve the chops with the sauce, and enjoy!!

    I love that you used the George Foreman. I wonder if my husband still has his…

    I don't have a grill (or grill pan) at my apartment, but I wanted to have the pretty grill marks 🙂

    This looks great and I love rum and pineapple together. I would have never thought to pair it with pork!

    These look amazing and the grill marks are so pretty. I love sauce, too, what a great idea about cooking it down. Yum!

Welcome!

As a busy wife and mom who also works a full time job, I try to have dinner done in 30 minutes or less so I can spend more of my evenings with my hubby and baby girl, so what you will find here are recipes that are mostly-healthy, quick and easy.
