Next in a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Place bacon wrapped pork chops in skillet and heat until bacon is cooked thoroughly (about 5 min per side). Mix rum, pineapple juice, molasses, brown sugar, and cayenne pepper in a medium bowl, whisk until combined. Add pineapple chunks to bowl, pour over pork chops, reduce to medium-low heat and simmer until cooked through (about 30 minutes.) Turn pork chops halfway through.
