Method

  1. Place the pork chops in a large container that can be sealed and season them generously with the rub.

  2. Pour the marinade over the pork chops and seal the container.

  3. Place the container in the refrigerator and let it marinate for at least 1 hour, or up to 24 hours.

  4. In the meantime, in a large saucepan, combine the pineapple, onion, serrano peppers, vinegar, brown sugar, pineapple juice, ginger, garlic, mustard seeds, and salt.

  5. Bring the mixture to a slow, simmering boil.

  6. Reduce the heat to low and simmer the mixture, stirring every 5 to 10 minutes, until it thickens. This should take about 45 minutes in total.

  7. Remove the chutney from the heat and top it with golden raisins. Let it cool slightly for 10 to 15 minutes.

  8. Preheat an outdoor charcoal grill to medium heat and lightly oil the grate.

  9. Remove the pork chops from the refrigerator and discard the remaining marinade.

  10. Cook the pork chops on the preheated grill, ensuring that the coals are not too hot. This should take 4 to 8 minutes per side, depending on the thickness of the chops. Use an instant-read thermometer to check if the centers reach 145 degrees F (63 degrees C).
