Great Recipe! Tasty, easy and quick. I'll be making this again and again!

Great! Makes enough marinade for more than two chops so it's easy to use this recipe when cooking for more than two.

You can use the same amount of marinade for four pork chops. The chops were tender and juicy. I didn't bother to double the amount of pineapple as I knew my husband would not be interested in grilled pineapple, but my daughter and I loved it--my daughter ate the leftovers for lunch the following day.

My kids loved this recipe. I made it with coconut rice and peach cobbler!

This was amazing! My husband said the pork chops were better than Patty's (a well-known-for-their pork-chops restaurant in KY). The same night we ate them we called some friends of ours and invited them for supper the next week because they HAD to try these pork chops. GREAT recipe!

Can the meat be prepared in the oven. If so, at what temperature and for how long?
