OKOKOK...so I used to have a food blog for a while...I actually stopped writing it as soon as I joined E. There is only one recipe I keep going to that blog for, seeing as I don't have the measurements written down anymore (I really should fix that), and that is for my Grandma's Pineapple Pork Chops:
Grandma's Pineapple Pork Chops
6-8 boneless pork chops (Grandma likes bone-in as they are cheaper)
1/4 c flour
1 tsp salt
pinch of pepper
1 tsp ginger
1 tsp paprika
1 c unsweetened pineapple juice
5 T brown sugar
2 T cider vinegar (regular vinegar works in a pinch)
1/4 c crushed pineapple, drained
1) Mix dry ingredients (except brown sugar) together and coat chops.
2) Brown chops in a little oil in a deep fry pan.
3) Once browned on both sides, turn heat down a little and cook until chops are almost done.
4) While chops are cooking, mix brown sugar and wet ingredients together (a mason jar works great for this!). Add crushed pineapple to wet ingredients and mix.
5) Once chops are almost done, pour in wet mixture and cook until bubbly hot and chops are cooked through. If desired, add more crushed pineapple.
Serve on top of egg noodles
TIP: My grandmother typically serves this dish as is, but I found that the sauce was a bit too thin to stick to the egg noodles much. I like to thicken it up with a little corn starch and water to the desired thickness (like a pasta sauce thickness). Hubby by far liked the change as well
Please let me know what you guys think of it if you ever try it out. It's a great weeknight meal too!
