Testing Recipes Today

I love to try out new recipes when I have time. This is a good one I just tried out tonight. Very tasty!


Bahama Mama Pork Chops

1 (8 oz) can pineapple chunks, reserve juice ( I used crushed pineapple)
1 tablespoon cornstarch
2/3 cup bottled chili sauce ( Heinz is good!)
1/3 cup raisins
1 tablespoon brown sugar
1/8 teaspoon ground Cinnamon
4 pork chops
1 tablespoon vegetable oil

1) In medium bowl, blend reserved pineapple juice with cornstarch; Stir in pineapple, chili sauce, raisins, sugar and cinnamon and set aside.
2) In large skillet lightly brown chops in oil and drain. Pour pineapple mixture over chops. Cover and simmer 15 minutes or until pork s cooked throughout.

My notes: I used VERY thick, boneless pork chops so I cooked it a little longer than suggested. I think if you like sweet n' sour pork you will love this. Don't leave out the Cinnamon because the flavors are all so good together. I served mine with rice and baked sweet potato fries on the side. YUM YUM YUM and very easy if you are in a hurry!
