Steps:

Wash and Pat dry the Pork chops. Place in a glass or plastic shallow dish (for marinating).
Mix together all of remaining jerk ingredients in a blender or food processor until a smooth puree is accomplished. Pour the jerk sauce over the pork chops and marinate for up to 24 hours. Reserve about 1/4 cup of the mixture for basting.
Grill Pork Chops until cooked to the desired doneness. Baste with the reserved jerk sauce while grilling.
In the meantime, mix together the Mango salsa ingredients. You can also add some Pineapple to the mixture.
Serve the Salsa on top of the Pork Chops on a pretty plate for your dinner guests.
