Steps:

• For relish, combine lime juice, honey, cilantro, and cumin in a bowl. Dice tomato, pawpaw, mango, roasted pepper and onion to 1/4-inch squares. Add diced vegetable to lime juice mixture and toss. Season, to taste, with kosher or sea salt, and let stand at least 30 minutes and up to overnight in the refrigerator, tightly covered.
• Preheat a grill to medium heat.
• For the marinade, combine all ingredients and mix well. Grill pork chops to medium, about 10 minutes per side, brushing with marinade until juice runs clear when pressed or when an instant-read thermometer reads 150 degrees F. Slice plantains 1/8-inch thick. Fry in hot oil until lightly browned. Remove and drain on paper towels.
• Sauce each plate with 1/4 cup hot country ham jus. Garnish with a generous soup spoonful of relish and crown with 2 slices fried plantains.

KENTUCKY BOURBON FUDGE

Steps:

• In a heavy saucepan, mix sugar and cocoa until blended.
• Add milk and stir until blended.
• Add heat and slowly bring mixture to a boil. Allow mixture to boil up and dissolve sugar crystals on the sides of the pan.
• Boil until candy reaches the soft ball stage (230-240 degrees), stirring constantly.
• To test for "soft ball stage" drop a little of the candy mixture in clean, ice cold water. If you can roll it around with your finger and it holds together, it's ready.
• Remove from heat, and stir in bourbon.
• "Beat" mixture with a spoon, stirring briskly until the candy starts to crust around the sides of the saucepan and the mixture thickens considerably.
• Pour into a buttered 9x13 glass dish. Allow to cool slightly and cut into squares.
• Press a whole pecan into the top of each square.
• Enjoy!
