Instructions

  1. Step 1: In a small bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup pure maple syrup, 2 tbsp bourbon whiskey, 1 tbsp Dijon mustard, 1 tsp garlic powder, 1 tsp salt, and 1/2 tsp black pepper to make the glaze.
  2. Step 2: Brush both sides of 4 bone-in pork chops with half of the maple-bourbon glaze and let them sit at room temperature for 15 minutes.
  3. Step 3: Preheat grill to medium heat, about 375°F. Lightly brush 1 medium pineapple, sliced into 1/2-inch rings, with 2 tbsp olive oil.
  4. Step 4: Place pork chops on the grill and cook for 5 minutes per side, brushing with remaining glaze once during cooking, until internal temperature reaches 145°F.
  5. Step 5: At the same time, grill pineapple slices for about 3 minutes per side until caramelized and grill marks form.
  6. Step 6: Remove pork chops and pineapple from the grill and let the pork rest for 5 minutes before serving pineapple slices alongside.
