Maple Rum Sauce
- Marinade after removing the pork chops

Instructions
- Whisk together the marinade ingredients. Put it in a zipper bag and add the pork chops. Seal the bag and smush the marinade around, being sure to cover the pork chops. Put in a bowl in the refrigerator overnight.
- The next day, start the charcoal or gas grill. Remove the pork chops from the marinade and set aside.
- Put the marinade in a saute pan and add the butter and rum. Bring to a simmer and cook for 3 to 5 minutes. This will cook out the alcohol and reduce the sauce in half.
- Grill the pork chops over medium heat, 3 to 5 minutes per side, depending on how thick the pork chops are.
- When pork has reached 145 degrees, remove from grill and drizzle the maple rum sauce over the top of the pork chops.
