My chops sat in the marinade for two days, and they were so delicious! They were moist, tender, and flavorful. I didn't have any mint, so that ingredient was left out, but the honey, lemon, and cayenne were just perfect. I served these with white rice and veggies.

Lovely flavour. I liked the wee kick from the cayenne. Made it tonight for my husband and one of our friends and they gave it 4 stars (and my husband is VERY fussy) thanks for a nice recipe Lainey

I have died and gone to heaven. We left out the mint and subbed the pork for chicken (not a big pork fan), but this was AMAZING. The marinade... oh my goodness. It was perfectly seasoned (took a close up photo to post of the glaze when it grills... perfection!). We will make this one again and again. Yummmmy! Made for ZWT4
