Instructions
1
Melt butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Stir in ginger, thyme, and 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt, and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Off heat, whisk in honey.
2
Pat pork dry with paper towels and sprinkle with remaining 1 teaspoon salt, pepper, and cinnamon.
3
For a Charcoal Grill: Open bottom vent completely. Light large chimney starter filled with charcoal briquettes (6 quarts). When top coals are partially covered with ash, pour evenly over half of grill. Set cooking grate in place, cover, and open lid vent completely. Heat grill until hot, about 5 minutes. For a Gas Grill: Turn all burners to high, cover, and heat grill until hot, about 15 minutes. Leave all burners on high.
4
Clean and oil the cooking grate. Place pork chops on heated grill and cook (covered if using gas), flipping chops once about halfway through, until browned on all sides and center of chops registers 140°F (60°C), 2 to 4 minutes per side. Brush with 2 tablespoons butter mixture and continue to cook 1 minute longer. Transfer to a serving platter to rest while grilling plums.
5
Grill plums until caramelized and tender, flipping and moving on grill as needed for even cooking, about 3 minutes per side. Transfer to a platter, cut-side up, with pork.
6
Stir lemon juice and accumulated juices into remaining reserved butter mixture. Brush cut sides of plums with sauce, and drizzle any remaining sauce over pork and plums. Serve.
