DIRECTIONS
Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the pork chops and fry on each side until browned, about 3 minutes per side. Pour in the liquid from the pineapple chunks, saving pineapple for later. Stir in the golden syrup and ketchup and season with curry powder, ginger, salt and pepper. Reduce heat to medium, cover and simmer for 30 minutes, or until pork chops are tender.
When the pork chops are tender, pour in the pineapple chunks and add the raisins. Heat through briefly, then serve.

Unusual combination of ingredients, but delicious! Didn't have curry powder, so used a rounded tablespoon of curry paste instead; also used currants in stead of raisins. I had to stop cooking halfway to pick my husband up from football and this allowed flavours to blend nicely - will do this on purpose next time. Served it with mashed sweet potato and green beans. Perfect! My family want me to make this again soon.

This is a basic family favourite for me too. I often add thin slivers of green and mostly, red sweet peppers. Fresh pineapple with its accumulated juices makes a tasty, less sweet version. Brown sugar can be used instead of golden syrup - or honey, sweetener of choice and to taste. Good recipe with shrimps instead of chops of chicken pieces. Very versatile recipe with many riffs possible. Thank you!!

For me this recipe earned only a 3.5, tops. Not bad at all! Just felt it was another version lacking certain ingredients for the recipe to be found here for "Bahama-Mama Pork Chops." Nothing went wrong, just the "oomph'!! I think if you replaced the golden syrup with brown sugar here and omitted the chili sauce from the other recipe you would have a superb recipe in all! Thank you for sharing!

Aye, 'tis fine food for pirates and land lubbers alike. Lots of flavor little fuss. The sauce for this dish is a tantalizing sweet and tangy glaze. I added a wee splash of rum in honor of pirates everywhere. This recipe is a treasure for sure.

I am not the biggest fan of pork chops, but this recipe was fantastic! Everyone enjoyed them. I served with rice and a veggie and it was a great meal. I substituted dark and light syrup mixed because I didn't have golden syrup. And I added a bit of corn starch to thicken up the sauce. Delicious!

Made this for dinner and my 15 yr old daughter wasn't sure she wanted to try it Once she did she informed me that this is now her favorite meal it even beats out pizza and tacos in her opinion. I did not have any ginger, only had curry paste and used honey instead of golden syrup. My daughter and I really enjoyed this and we will be making this again. Thanks for this recipe!

Made this last night with chicken instead of pork and honey instead of golden syrup. It was great! We really enjoyed the sweet sauce. I simmered the chicken for about 10 minutes after browning it. I recommend this! It is a quick and easy meal for a weeknight supper.

This dish was tasty but too sweet for us. The second time I made this I left out the syrup. Much better.

Next time, I'll make this in the crock pot. The whole family liked the flavor, even the kids, but pork was a bit dry. I also used golden raisins instead of regular as I figured they would blend in better with the sauce and not "freak out" my finicky children. It worked!

My husband who is a VERY picky eater loved this recipe. I used fresh pineapple and added about 1/2 cup of pineapple juice. I also used brown sugar instead of syrup and omitted the raisins. I will be making this recipe again.
