- Stir in applesauce & pineapple; simmer 10 mins more. Season with white pepper. Place in a bowl, cover, & refrigerate until ready to use.
- To prepare marinade, mix 1/3 of the salsa with soy sauce & vinegar. Place pork chops in a marinating container & pour marinade over chops. Seal tightly, & place in the refrigerator for 1 hour (or longer).
- Prepare grill for medium-high heat. Drain marinade from bag & heat in a saucepan until boiling.
- Lightly oil grill grate. Place pork chops on the hot grill. Cook 10 mins, or to desired doneness, turning once & basting occasionally with the boiled marinade.
