3. Now place the pork on the grill and cover it with the lid over medium heat for four to five minutes on each side or until no longer pink or until the juice run clear. (170 degrees for well done which while going through chemotherapy we need).
4. Next you want to grill your oranges about one to two minutes on each side or until there are grill marks on the orange slices. Serve the pork chops with the remaining marmalade mixture and the grilled slices. You can place the chops on the slices for added flavor and wonderful presentation.
