Yield: 4 servings.
Ingredients: 1 cup unsweetened pineapple juice; 2/3 cup dry white wine or chicken broth; 2 tablespoons brown sugar; 1 garlic clove, minced; 1/2 teaspoon dried rosemary, crushed; 4 bone-in center-cut pork loin chops (3/4 inch thick and 7 ounces each)

I found a pork recipe in a newspaper many years ago, but I lightened it up quite a bit. This version is so tasty that I use it for weekend company as well as weeknight dinners. -Linda Austin of Fayetteville, Arkansas

Ingredients

1 cup unsweetened pineapple juice
2/3 cup dry white wine or chicken broth
2 tablespoons brown sugar
1 garlic clove, minced
1/2 teaspoon dried rosemary, crushed
4 bone-in center-cut pork loin chops (3/4 inch thick and 7 ounces each)

Directions

In a large bowl, combine the first five ingredients; stir until sugar is dissolved. Pour 1-1/2 cups into a large resealable plastic bag; add pork chops. Seal bag and turn to coat; refrigerate for 8 hours or overnight. Cover and refrigerate remaining marinade for basting.
Drain and discard marinade. Using long-handled tongs, moisten a paper towel with cooking oil and lightly coat the grill rack. Grill pork, covered, over medium heat or broil 4-5 in. from the heat for 4-5 minutes on each side or until a thermometer reads 145°, basting frequently with reserved marinade. Let meat stand for 5 minutes before serving.

Can you do these in a slow cooker?

To bake pork chops, Heat oven to 350 degrees. In 10 inch skillet, brown pork chops over medium heat. Arrange the pork chops in a baking dish with a little of the marinade. Cover with aluminum foil and back for 60-70 minutes or until thermometer reads 160°, basting frequently. Enjoy!KT

Re: Moist Herbed Pork ChopsWhat other method is an option for cooking these pork chops? The recipe said "If grilling", which isn't an option in our part of the country in the winter.
