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

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 :)

Tips:
- Choose the right pork chops: Look for bone-in pork chops that are about 1 inch thick. Bone-in chops will stay juicier during cooking, and the bone also adds flavor to the meat.
- Season the pork chops well: Before cooking, season the pork chops liberally with salt and pepper. You can also add other seasonings, such as garlic powder, onion powder, or paprika.
- Cook the pork chops over medium heat: Cooking the pork chops over medium heat will help them cook evenly without overcooking. Overcooked pork chops will be dry and tough.
- Use a meat thermometer to check for doneness: The best way to ensure that the pork chops are cooked to perfection is to use a meat thermometer. Pork chops are considered safe to eat when they reach an internal temperature of 145 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Make the mango salsa ahead of time: The mango salsa can be made up to 24 hours in advance. This will allow the flavors to meld and develop.
Conclusion:
Pork chops with mango salsa is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The pork chops are juicy and flavorful, and the mango salsa adds a refreshing and tropical touch. This dish is sure to please everyone at the table.
