Instructions

  1. Step 1: Pat dry 4 bone-in pork chops (6 oz each) and season both sides evenly with 1 tsp salt, 1/2 tsp black pepper, 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon, and 1/4 tsp ground allspice.
  2. Step 2: Heat 2 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add the pork chops and sear for 4-5 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through (internal temperature 145°F). Remove chops and set aside on a warm plate.
  3. Step 3: Lower heat to medium and add 1 cup pineapple juice, 1/4 cup dark rum, 2 tbsp honey, and 2 cloves minced garlic to the skillet. Stir and cook for 5-7 minutes until the sauce reduces and thickens to a glaze consistency that coats the back of a spoon.
  4. Step 4: Return the pork chops to the skillet and spoon the pineapple-rum glaze over them, cooking for an additional 1-2 minutes to reheat and coat.
  5. Step 5: Transfer pork chops to serving plates, spoon extra glaze on top, and garnish with 2 tbsp chopped fresh parsley before serving.
