This was good, it didn't amaze us but it has a nice blend of flavors. I did have to make a couple changes because of what I had on hand (or didn't have). I used craisins instead of raisins, and some rum for part of the chili sauce. Also I added way too much pineapple since I realized the can was larger than called for after they were added. It still came out fine and we'll make it again. I served it over coconut brown rice (rice made w/ coconut milk), great combo of sweet n spicy.

Didn't so much care for this recipe. Not sure if it was too sweet or what it was. Might try it again, just to see. Because it sure sounds yummy, so maybe we didn't make it quite right.

Pretty sweet, but very flavorful. My family gave mixed reviews, but I thought it was good.

I'm not sure how to rate this recipe. When I made it, I thought it lacked something. It was pretty good but I probably would not make it again. Then the next day I had the leftovers and they were WONDERFUL!!! I did add peppers and onions, and used dried cranberries instead of raisins. For chili sauce, I used an oriental chili garlic sauce which added just enough kick to it (maybe that's what took a while to develop its flavor)

The flavor isn't very developed. I liked it, but it left much to be desired. I had to add a LOT of things to make it taste less like pineapple-sugar sauce and more of an actual spiced fruit kinda glaze. I don't know - it just wasn't my thing.

Tastes great, simple to prepare. I, too, used Hoisin sauce in the recipe and it was great.

I browned some diced onion before adding the pork chops. Also omitted the raisins as I dislike them. The sauce was absolutely delicious (the sweet/spicy is fabulous!), so I ended up doubling the quantity. I think this would work really well with chicken too. Thanks!

I make this all the time and everyone loves it!!! I substitute Mediteranean Curry cous cous for the rice and it is delicous! Also, for the hot sauce- try Stubb's Pork Marinade- it's the best!

This was a good recipe. My husband and I both enjoyed the twist the marinade added to our pork chops. Next time I will use a little less chili paste as it made it a little too "tomatoey." Otherwise it was a easy way to jazz up our dinner.

Awesome. I'm not crazy about pork chops but this was the best. My husband, parents and even my four year old daughter who doesn't like anything loved these. I think this is the best recipe I've made from this site in a long time. Definately a keeper.

Very good! I had to make a slight change since I didn't have any pineapple. I used mandarin oranges instead, and added some extra rice wine vinegar. Also used the chili sauce recipe from this site. I doubled the sauce, as was suggested by other reviews, now I have enough pork and sauce left over to serve a second meal! That's always a good thing!

My family and friends loved this recipe! I added 1 chopped green pepper and 1 cup of chopped mushrooms to make the recipe more filling. I used golden raisins. I doubled the amount of pinneaple. I added more chili sauce (mild red enchilada sauce), pineapple juice, and brown sugar to compensate for the added ingredients. Thin boneless pork chops worked well with this recipe. I served the porkchops and Bahama- Mama mixture over steamed white rice. I also sprinkled shredded coconut on top for an extra tropical flair.

I made this recipe for dinner last night, and it was GREAT! I am a chronic multi-tasker, so the only change I made was after following the recipe, I put the pork chops and sauce in a baking pan in the oven uncovered for 45 minutes rather than cooking in the skillet. This allowed me to take care of other pressing things without worrying about burning dinner. =) I will definitely make this recipe again, but I think I'll tone down the tartness next time.

We really enjoyed this recipe. I think the next time I make it, I will try marinating the chops for an hour or so In the sauce before I cook them to get them even more flavorful. Definitley will make again.

This sooo yummy! I sort of doubled the sauce as I always do with recipes like this, used a large can of pineapple and almost a whole bottle of chili sauce, upped all other ingredients proportionally. Good thing that I did, the sauce is fantastic! And I am glad that I read some of the reviews, as I knew chili sauce only as the very spicy Asian variety. Get the "Heinz" as mentioned by a previous reviewer, it's perfect for this recipe. My husband not only had seconds but thirds, and I couldn't stop dipping my finger into the sauce before it ever hit the stove. Oh, and the pork came out nice and juicy as well. A perfect match!
