Steps
Sequence Step
1Place the water, lemon juice, onion, brown sugar, green onions, oil, salt, allspice, cinnamon, ground black pepper and cayenne pepper into a blender and puree until smooth. Pour 1/2 cup in a small bowl, cover and refrigerate, to use for basting.
2Place pork in shallow glass or plastic dish. Pour remaining marinade over pork. Cover and refrigerate at least 12 hours but no longer than 24 hours.
3Heat coals or gas grill. Remove pork from marinade; discard marinade. Cover and grill pork 4 to 5 inches from medium heat. Turn chops frequently and brush with reserved marinade. Cook until medium done (160 degrees F/71 degrees C) and slightly pink when cut near bone, about 8 to 11 minutes.
