Momma Pritchett's Grilled Pork Chops and Apple Pear Topping

Recipe View In a large bowl, whisk together 1 cup brown sugar, soy sauce, orange juice, brown mustard, honey, Worcestershire sauce, black pepper, and cumin until the sugar has dissolved, creating a luscious marinade. (Prep time: 5 minutes)

Recipe View Submerge the pork chops in the marinade, ensuring they are fully coated. Allow them to luxuriate at room temperature for 45 minutes to 1 hour, absorbing the vibrant flavors. (Marinating time: 45-60 minutes)

Recipe View Preheat your outdoor grill to medium-high heat and lightly oil the grate to prevent sticking. (Prep time: 5 minutes)

Recipe View Remove the chops from the marinade, shaking off any excess. Discard the remaining marinade. (Prep time: 2 minutes)

Recipe View Grill the chops on the preheated grill until beautifully browned, displaying enticing grill marks, and cooked through. Squeeze lime juice over the chops as they grill, adding a zesty brightness. Aim for approximately 8 minutes per side, or until an instant-read meat thermometer inserted into the thickest part registers at least 145 degrees F (63 degrees C). (Cook time: 16 minutes)

Recipe View While the chops are grilling, melt butter in a large skillet over high heat. Stir in 1 tablespoon brown sugar and cinnamon, bringing the mixture to a simmer until the sugar dissolves, forming a rich caramel. (Prep time: 3 minutes)

Recipe View Introduce the apple and pear slices to the skillet, cooking and stirring frequently until they are coated in the buttery mixture and softened, but still retain a pleasant bite, about 5 minutes. (Cook time: 5 minutes)

Recipe View Transfer the glazed fruit slices to a grilling basket. (Prep time: 1 minute)

Recipe View Cook the fruit slices on the grill until they develop a slightly caramelized exterior, about 5 minutes, enhancing their sweetness and adding a smoky depth. (Cook time: 5 minutes)
