The one thing I am not is a fussy cook. For sure, it’s pretty gosh-darn rare that I make a recipe that requires four freaking separate recipes. But in this case, it was totally worth it. And since I always have a small jar of Brown Sugar Caribbean Jerk Seasoning on hand, I was at least able to save a little bit of time making these grilled pork chops. There’s also the added bonus of the Jerk Seasoned Caribbean Honey Mustard Sauce and the Pineapple & Sweet Yellow Onion Caribbean Salsa, which are both made using the same jerk seasoning, being so stupid-simple to make that they honestly take very little time or effort to throw together. And, if you’re really lucky like me, and you just so happen to have your own version of B.O.B. Bob around your house, perhaps you won’t even have to worry about standing next to a hot grill. Maybe they’ll do all of the “work” for you. So, y’all, if you’re thinking this recipe might just be too fussy, think again. It’s pretty freaking quick to throw together, and I guarantee you’ll absolutely love it.

Suggestions:

  • To make this recipe, I used homemade Brown Sugar Caribbean Jerk Seasoning. Crafted with the perfect blend of spices and the subtle sweetness of brown sugar, this homemade jerk seasoning is a lovely way to add a slightly sweet flavorful Caribbean spice profile to your everyday recipes. I then used the homemade jerk seasoning to make Jerk Seasoned Caribbean Honey Mustard Sauce to serve over these pork chops and to season this Pineapple & Sweet Yellow Onion Caribbean Salsa. Is it a little extra work to make both the seasoning mix, the sauce, and the salsa? Yes. But it’s well worth the effort. And, you’ll have extra seasoning to use in other recipes.
  • This recipe will yield enough honey mustard sauce and salsa for at least 4 to 6 pork chops.
  • Keep in mind that the thickness of your pork chops will have an effect on how long you will need to grill them. I would not choose pork chops over 1 inch thick for this recipe.
  • Don’t be afraid to use a thermometer to test the doneness of your pork chops. 145 degrees is medium-rare, 150 degrees is medium, and 160 degrees is well-done. Allowing the pork chops to rest for at least 5 minutes after grilling helps to redistribute the juices inside them, creating a less dry piece of meat.
  • You may have a little honey mustard sauce or salsa left over. The honey mustard sauce is great as a sandwich spread or dip for fresh-cut vegetables, and the salsa is delicious served with tortilla chips.

Improvements:

  • Replace the grilled pork chops with grilled chicken or fish.
  • Use fresh, small-diced peaches instead of pineapple in this recipe.
  • If you have 4 to 5 Tablespoons of honey mustard sauce leftover, use it to make these Caribbean Honey Mustard Deviled Eggs.
