- Pour the beer, rum, molasses, soy sauce and lime juice into a bowl. Stir in the garlic, ginger, chilli, 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 the barbecue 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 salt and black pepper. Barbecue the chops on both sides until cooked to required doneness. Let the pork chops rest for about 5 minutes before serving to allow the juices to redistribute.

Thank you for such a versitile and very delicious recipe! I had two large butterfly pork chops, so I halved all of the liquid and only used a couple of shots of beer (thanks previous reviewers). I also subbed several tablespoons of a prepared jerk seasoning in place of the list of jerk spices. Smelled soooo good on the grill, and I loved the light carmelization from the molasses and rum, balanced by the saltiness of the soy sauce. Will definitely use this one again! - 17 Aug 2009 (Review from Allrecipes USA and Canada)
This came out really nice. I can't imagine the problems that the other reviews had unless they did not follow the recipe. - 12 Oct 2006 (Review from Allrecipes USA and Canada)
