JERK PORK CHOPS WITH MANGO SALSA
Many years ago, I saw a couple of old Food Network shows where jerk chicken was made and accompanied by various fruits. I took notes and created this meal after several attempts to get it to fit my taste. It is funny to look back to my original recipe, as I actually used Vegetable Oil because I was too cheap to buy Olive Oil. I think we can all conclude that the Olive Oil tastes much better :)

PORK CHOPS WITH MANGO SALSA
Mango, pineapple and onion make a fresh and fruity topping for these easy pork chops. For extra flavor, add cilantro to the salsa. TIP: Vidalia and other sweet onions are mild-flavored onions that are high in sugar and water content and low in tear-inducing sulfur compounds. Because of these properties, they are not suited for long-term storage, so you should use them within several weeks of purchase. It's important to keep them cool, dry and separate. Place in a single layer, wrapped seperately in foil or paper towels, in the vegetable bin of the refrigerator. If it is not possible to store them in the refrigerator, store them in the colest area of your home with good air circulation. --Taste of Home Test Kitchen Taste of Home Cooking Holiday - June 2010

Tips for the Best Jerk Pork Chops with Mango Salsa:
- Choose the right pork chops: Look for bone-in pork chops that are at least 1 inch thick. This will help ensure that the chops stay juicy and flavorful during cooking.
- Make your own jerk seasoning: Don't be afraid to experiment with different spices to create your own unique jerk seasoning. Some common ingredients include allspice, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, ginger, and thyme.
- Marinate the pork chops for at least 30 minutes: This will help the flavors of the jerk seasoning to penetrate the meat and give the chops a more intense flavor.
- Cook the pork chops over medium heat: This will help to prevent the chops from drying out. You can cook the chops in a skillet, on a grill, or in the oven.
- Serve the pork chops with mango salsa: The sweet and tangy flavors of the mango salsa will complement the savory flavors of the jerk pork chops perfectly.
Conclusion:
Jerk pork chops with mango salsa is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for any occasion. With a little planning and preparation, you can create a restaurant-quality meal that your family and friends will love. Note: The HTML tags should be inside the backticks ().
