| ¼ | teaspoon | Finely shredded orange peel | 
| ½ | cup | Orange juice | 
| ¼ | cup | Pineapple juice | 
| 2 | tablespoons | Soy sauce | 
| 1 | tablespoon | Honey |

Directions
(I use ¾ cup of pineapple-orange juice instead of using separate pineapple and orange juice.)
Trim fat from chops.  For marinade, in a shallow baking dish combine orange peel, orange juice, pineapple juice, soy sauce, honey, pepper, and garlic. Add meat; turn to coat.  Cover; chill in the refrigerator for 6 to 24 hours, turning once. 
Remove meat from marinade, reserving marinade.  Place meat on the unheated rack of a broiler pan.  Broil 4 to 5 inches from the heat for 12 to 14 minutes or till no pink remains, turning once. 
Transfer marinade to a saucepan.  Stir in cornstarch.  Cook and stir until thickened and bubbly.  Cook and stir 2 minutes more.  Pass with chops.
Grill directions:  Prepare chops as above.  Grill on an uncovered grill directly over medium-hot coals for 12 to 14 minutes or till no pink remains; turn once.  Continue as above.
