This was fantastic! I made for my family and they demolished almost all of it. The only changes I made were to make in the oven. I had to double the recipe, so the stovetop way didn't work. I prepared the sauce on the stovetop, but the chops were made in the oven. Once they were halfway done, I poured the pineapple juice from the can over them, then the sauce. I let that bake for about 30 minutes, then I put the pineapple pieces in and let it bake for another 15 minutes. It was late, and I was baking on a high 425, so if you have time, you can lower your temp and lengthen your baking time for maximum tenderness (mine was tender though). I will definitely make again.

I didn't actually taste this recipe as I'm a vegetarian but I cooked it for my carnivorous husband and kids and they all really enjoyed it. The recipe was easy to make and was something different to do with pork chops. I made the recipe exactly as submitted. I also cut the fat off the pork chops before cooking so that my sauce didn't end up greasy.

Made this tonight for my picky sister. She really enjoyed the dish. I did add extra pineapple as she really likes them. Other than that I changed nothing. This dish is definitely a keeper and is now in my cookbook. Thanks for sharing it with us.

Delicious! This was a huge hit with my daughter and my husband seemed to like it too. A couple notes: I only had pineapple chunks so I chopped them up really small, instead of using tidbits. A quarter cup didn't seem to be enough, so I put in a little more. I still didn't think it was enough when we ate it, so I think I will use a half cup or more next time. I would probably also put more onion and garlic in it next time, but that's just my personal taste. :) Also, I served this with Thai yellow curry rice -- the smells were delicious, but the flavors didn't mix well, it made the dish taste too salty. I also tried the sauce over boiled potatoes though and it was delicious -- the potatoes just soak up the flavors.

Many years ago I was given the "sauce" part of this recipe and told it was good for chicken, turkey, or pork. Having lost it and remembering only some of the ingredients I am overjoyed to "have it back again". I use a can of Tropical Fruit instead - bigger chunks and even dried add apricots sometimes. Bless you for returning my all purpose sauce to me.

I doubled the sauce and then halved it --marinated the chops in 1/2 of the sauce and grilled them. The other half of the sauce, I cooked down and used to put over them afterwards. I would recommend bone in chops everytime because otherwise they get to dry and tough. Great recipe -- not too sweet but still something different!

Takes a little while to cook, but relatively simple and tasty. Works with or without the pineapple.

I made this for dinner tonight and we all loved it!! I have 5 adults in my household and they said they wanted it again! The only thing I did different was I doubled the sauce and if I hadn't we may not have had enough for the rice and chops. Thank you for the new regular meal for us!

Over all this was a great meal. My husband who hate pinapple and anything that is not meat and potatoes LOVED this. I on the other hand thought that it was good. I added some pineapple juice while the pork was simmering. I think that next time I will use fresh pineapple instead of canned. The sause was really tangy but like I said it was good! I will be making this again.

This recipe tasted much different than the "tropical" flavor i thought it would have but was still very tasty. It was more a tangy flavor. All i did in the way of changes was i added a tsp more sugar and about 1/2 water 1/2 pineapple juice when simmering. Otherwise it turned out excellent. Also i used 1/2 c pineapples and that was everyones favorite part. I served over rice w/ corn. will make again.

I made one serving but kept the sauce amount the same. I ended up adding a little more garlic powder and also some teriyaki sauce. Turned out great - nice and sweet and soury. Thanks, Babineau!

This wasn't a bad recipe. I only gave it a 3 because it was a split decision in our house. Only my husband and son liked it. My daughter and I found that it was somewhat bitter tasting.

I have been in marital bliss for over a year now, but so far never managed to get into the kitchen. The reason? Hubby loves to cook and he is really good at it. Moreover, he is a finnicky eater and not easily satisfied. However lately he has been very busy with his work, so I decided it's about time to get into the kitchen... my first time EVER. Honestly, I mean it, I have NEVER cooked a meal in my life (not counting boiling an egg). And I was never nervous about it, how will my first meal turn out? Anyway, after this long introduction I will get to the point: Tropical Pork Chops was my VERY FIRST home made meal ever, and it turned out GREAT. It was really easy to make, what is more important, Hubby loved it (yay!). I look forward to cook again, in fact I told hubby tomorrow is MY turn again! Thanks for posting this wonderful recipe. I like this site.
