Cranberry-Pineapple Pork Chops
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, Florida4 ServingsPrep/Total Time: 25 min.
