- 1/2 (12 ounce) bottle lager style beer
- 3 fluid ounces dark rum
- 1/4 cup molasses
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 1/4 cup lime juice
- 2 tablespoons minced garlic
- 2 tablespoons minced ginger
- 1 scotch bonnet chile pepper, minced
- 2 teaspoons chopped fresh thyme
- 2 teaspoons chopped fresh marjoram
- 1 1/2 teaspoons ground allspice
- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 2 bay leaves
- 8 (6 ounce) pork loin chops
- kosher salt and cracked black pepper to taste
- Pour the beer, rum, molasses, soy sauce, and lime juice into a bowl. Stir in the garlic, ginger, scotch bonnet pepper, thyme, and marjoram. Season with allspice, cinnamon, nutmeg, and bay leaves. Place the pork chops into a zip top bag, and pour in the marinade. Refrigerate overnight.
- Prepare an outdoor grill for medium heat. Take the pork chops out of the marinade, place on a plate, and allow to sit at room temperature for 15 to 20 minutes as the grill heats.
- Season the chops to taste with kosher salt and cracked black pepper. Grill the chops on both sides until a thermometer inserted into the center registers 145 degrees F (63 degrees C). Allow the pork chops to rest for about 5 minutes before serving to allow the juices to redistribute.
