You&#8217;ll make the entire meal with one skillet and one bowl, and it takes only a few minutes to create a delicious meal. Whether you like sweet, tangy or spicy flavors, you&#8217;ll get them all in this recipe.<\/p>\n<p>Jerk seasoning and jerk recipes derive their name from a pit-cooking process used in Jamaica by people who had escaped slavery and needed to cook without letting any smoke escape that could pinpoint where they were. The seasoning often contains Scotch bonnet peppers, which are notoriously hot. However, this recipe calls for only 3 teaspoons of seasoning, so the spice shouldn&#8217;t be off the charts. This is a relatively easy dish to make, even if you decide to mix the seasoning from scratch.<\/p>\n<h2>Ingredients for Jamaican Jerk Pork Chops<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Butter:<\/strong> You&#8217;ll mix 1 tablespoon of softened butter with the preserves and use the other two for pan-frying. Keep each tablespoon separate from the start to save time.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Peach preserves:<\/strong> The preserves add a wonderfully tangy yet sweet flavor to the pork chops.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Pork loin chops:<\/strong> Use boneless, thin-cut chops that weigh about 2 to 3 ounces each for the base of this recipe.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Caribbean jerk seasoning:<\/strong> Store-bought seasoning is the easiest way to flavor the pork chops, but you can use homemade blends, too.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Yellow, orange and red sweet peppers:<\/strong> Once these peppers are pan-fried and gain a slightly crispy texture, they&#8217;ll provide some crunchiness that contrasts nicely with the tender pork chops.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Optional hot, cooked rice:<\/strong> Serve the pork chops and peppers over rice, which will soak up any juices that drip off the chops.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Directions<\/h2>\n<h3>Step 1: Prepare the preserves<\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-2068819\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/Jamaican-Jerk-Pork-Chops_TOHD24_205261_SheriSilver_6.jpg?fit=700%2C1024\" alt=\"Sauce for Taste Recipes Jamaican Jerk Pork Chops in a glass bowl\" width=\"700\" height=\"1024\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><span class=\"credits-overlay\"><span class=\"image-credit noskim\">Sheri Silver for Taste Recipes<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p>Mix 1 tablespoon of softened butter with the peach preserves.

Spread some sauce on a large tortilla or lavash, place the meat and peppers in a log shape slightly below the center of the wrap. Then fold over the sides of the tortilla or lavash, and roll up. If you don&#8217;t want the meat and peppers soaking the wrap with excess sauce, place lettuce leaves over the initial layer of sauce, and then place the meat and peppers on top of the lettuce leaves.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>How to Store Jamaican Jerk Pork Chops<\/h2>\n<p>Leftover Jamaican jerk pork chops can be stored in airtight containers in the refrigerator for up to three days.
