I am a Pirate Freak so you know when I came across a dish with Pirate in the name I just had to try them. These things were AWESOME!!! I love to cook however I do not care for pork that much. My boyfriend loves pork chops so I always look for an interesting way to cook them and these came out great! The pork was not dry and there was a lot of flavor. Like any cook I cannot follow a recipe word for word and I always have to add a twist so here is what I did: I did not have the curry so I just used some salt, pepper, garlic powder, and a dash of Soulard Grill seasoning. I only simmered for about 20 minutes and then added the pineapple and raisins and a pat of butter for about 10. I used golden raisins which were great however use whatever kind you like! Didn’t have golden syrup so I used some good maple syrup from Funk’s Grove. Good Stuff! I also used fresh ginger instead of powder because that is all that I had. I suggest adding the ginger to your tasting use less or more depending how much you love it. I also added a little more pineapple, I like fruit. I have also in the past added a dash of coconut rum, silver rum or some good old Captain Morgan. Just a splash will do but it does add some flavor! You could also add some sweet potatoes it is a great little twist with an awesome complimenting flavor. I would recommend this to anyone I know the combination of ingredients sounds strange but this is an awesome dish! Serve with some potatoes, a salad, rice and a v

I love this recipe and every time I make it I get asked for a copy of it. There are just a few changes that I made. I use fresh red pepper, didn't have the others and I used Provel cheese instead of motz. I just like it better. I also sprinkle some parm cheese on top right before serving. This is a great dish and full of flavor! I have made it several times and it only gets better with practice! Trust me if you make this they will be wanting more!

This does take a little time to make however your guest will be asking for this recipe. I have made it several times and it is always a hit, be sure to watch your oven mine cooked a little slower than the recipe states. Also heats up pretty good if you are going to be taking them to work or some place like that. Can get a little greasy but other than that you will love them! Great hit for parties!
