CRANBERRY-PINEAPPLE PORK CHOPS

Cranberry-Pineapple Pork Chops image

I love to serve this sauce with Christmas ham, but it's also great for a weeknight meal, like these pork chops. With a burst of flavor in every bite, these boneless chops are sure to become a family favorite. -Priscilla Gilbert, Indian Harbour Beach, Florida
