Ingredients

  • 4 boneless pork chops, 3/4- inch thick
  • 1/4 cup hot salsa, thick and chunky
  • 2 Tbs water
  • 2 Tbs orange marmalade
  • 1/4 tsp seasoned salt

Directions

  • In small bowl, combine salsa, water, marmalade and seasoned salt; blend well. Place pork chops in a self-sealing plastic bag and add marinade; seal bag and refrigerate for one hour.
  • Prepare medium-hot fire in grill; remove chops from marinade (discarding any remaining marinade) and place directly over fire. Grill for about 4-5 minutes per side until internal temperature on a thermometer reads 160° F. Serve chops hot from grill.
