This recipe made a VERY moist and tender pork chop. I only wished that they had more of the marinade flavor and THEN I read the recipe again and realized I neglected to glaze them while they cooked. I am sure adding this step will increase the flavor next time ( and there will be a next time ). I also successfully froze my pork chops in the marinade.

This is great ! You need to try it if you enjoy Pork Chops on the grill. I doubled the sauce right from the start. I only used half of the sherry and made up the difference with water. I also toned down the hot pepper a little. I marinated the chops for 24 hours. We grilled 6 chops and in less than one day from the original meal they were all gone. There are just two of us ! Wonderful, Thanks.
