Follow The Directions

01

Step

Prepare the Pork Chops: In a shallow dish, combine the flour, salt, and pepper. Dredge each pork chop in the flour mixture, ensuring both sides are well coated. Shake off any excess. (5 minutes)

02

Step

Sear the Pork Chops: Heat the shortening in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the pork chops and sear for about 3-4 minutes per side, until golden brown. Remove the pork chops from the skillet and set aside. (8 minutes)

03

Step

Create the Pineapple Gravy: Drain any excess fat from the skillet, leaving about 1 tablespoon. In the same skillet, combine 3/4 cup water, pineapple juice concentrate, sugar, lemon juice, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Bring to a simmer. (5 minutes)

04

Step

Simmer and Infuse: Return the seared pork chops to the skillet. Cover and reduce heat to low. Simmer for 25-30 minutes, or until the pork chops are cooked through and tender, and the sauce has reduced slightly. (30 minutes)

05

Step

Add Pineapple Rings: Gently stir in the drained pineapple rings. Cook for an additional 5 minutes, allowing the pineapple to warm through and infuse its flavor into the gravy. (5 minutes)

06

Step

Thicken the Gravy: Remove the pork chops and pineapple rings from the skillet and keep warm. In a small bowl, whisk together the cold water and cornstarch until smooth. Slowly pour the cornstarch slurry into the simmering sauce, stirring constantly until the gravy thickens to your desired consistency. (5 minutes)
