Grilled Bacon Wrapped Porkchops Pineapple By Freda Recipes

Steps:

• Line 2 baking sheets with foil, and set wire racks inside each. Spray racks with nonstick cooking spray.
• Cut the bacon strips in half crosswise. Tightly wrap a strip of bacon around each piece of pineapple and transfer to prepared racks seam-side down. Continue with remaining bacon and pineapple. Place in refrigerator for 20 minutes to chill.
• Preheat grill for cooking over indirect heat or an oven to 450 degrees F.
• Whisk together the honey, mustard, hot sauce and liquid smoke in a medium bowl. Set aside.
• Put the baking sheets on the grill over indirect heat or in the oven (in batches if necessary) and cook until bacon starts to get crispy, carefully flipping bites once midway through cooking, 30 minutes per batch. Brush each bite with the honey mustard and let cook until bacon is crispy and glaze has caramelized, an additional 10 minutes.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400°F.
• On work surface layer slices of bacon side by side. Place each chop on 2 pieces of bacon (picture 2 slices of bacon as the upright part of an H, and the pork chop as the across section). Season with salt and pepper.
• Slather the chops with barbeque sauce. Flip the chops and slather the other side as well, until barbeque sauce is used up.
• Lay a sprig of rosemary on each chop (letting the ends hang over the edge, for easy removal before serving).
• Wrap bacon slices tightly around each chop.
• Prepare broiler pan (or any roasting pan with a rack), by spraying surface with cooking spray.
• Bake for 30 to 35 minutes until a meat thermometer inserted in thickest part of the meat should register about 150°F
• Turn oven to broil and broil on each side until bacon is crisp.
• Let chops rest for a few minutes. Remove rosemary sprigs before serving.
• If desired, serve with additional warmed barbeque sauce.
• Note: To cook on grill, cook over direct heat for about 5 minutes per side, then transfer to indirect heat and continue cooking until internal temperature is 150°F (about 30 minutes).

Steps:

• Mix together the drained pineapple juice, brown sugar, soy sauce, and garlic powder together in a large plastic zipper bag, and smush the bag a few times with your hands to mix the marinade and dissolve the sugar. Place the pork chops into the marinade, squeeze out any air in the bag, seal it, and refrigerate overnight. Reserve the pineapple rings.
• Preheat an outdoor grill for medium heat, and lightly oil the grate.
• Remove the chops from the marinade, shaking off excess, and grill until browned, the meat is no longer pink inside, and the meat shows good grill marks, 5 to 8 minutes per side. Brush several times with marinade and let the marinade cook onto the surface of the meat. Discard excess marinade. While the meat is grilling, place 4 pineapple rings onto the grill, and allow to cook until hot and the slices show grill marks; serve the chops topped with the grilled pineapple rings.

Steps:

• 1. Put maple syrup, butter, light brown sugar, and vanilla in a saucepan. Cook over medium-low heat, stirring until the butter has melted and it's smooth (only a few minutes). Then set aside.
• 2. Cook bacon until slightly browned but still soft.
• 3. Slice pineapple into 1/2 inch by 2-3 inch strips.
• 4. Wrap pineapple strips with partially cooked bacon and secure with one to two toothpicks.
• 5. Brush bacon-wrapped pineapple with the maple brown sugar glaze.
• 6. Place a sheet of foil on the grill with a folded lip. Heat on low, with the lid up, for a few minutes. Then spray with coconut cooking spray.
• 7. Place bacon-wrapped pineapple glazed side down on the foil. Brush the other side with more glaze. Grill for 3 to 4 minutes with lid up.
• 8. Carefully turn the pineapple over. Grill on the other side for 3-4 minutes or until crispy to your likeness.
• 9. Serve warm.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Wrap each chunk of pineapple with a piece of bacon and secure with toothpicks. Place in a shallow baking dish. In a small bowl, stir together the brown sugar, mayonnaise and chili sauce; pour over the bacon wrapped pineapple.
• Bake uncovered for 25 minutes in the preheated oven, until bacon is crispy on the edges and the sauce is bubbly. Serve warm.
