Preheat oven to 350°. In a large skillet, heat butter over medium heat; brown pork chops on both sides. Using a slotted spoon, transfer to an ungreased 13x9-in. baking dish.

Combine pineapple juice, ketchup, vinegar, honey, mustard and salt; add to drippings. Cook and stir until mixture comes to a boil. Pour over chops.
