    How does your mouth feel about a vacation to Hawai’i? These sweet grilled pork chops with the pineapple taste as they came right off a beach somewhere warm and beautiful, even if you’re currently snowed in and hunkered down in a sweatshirt until April.

    If you’re tired of pork with apples or applesauce, this is a nice twist on the pork-and-fruit theme.

    Pineapple Pork Chops

    The marinade here ramps up the pineapple flavor and also adds a nice hint of complimentary spices to the pork chops. And even if you leave out the optional honey, grilling the pineapple gives you a delicious caramelized sweetness.

    While you’ve got the grill out, some grilled bell peppers (any color) would make a tasty vegetable side for these chops. Alternately, try them over cauliflower “rice” or with a fresh crunchy salad: maybe some fruity coleslaw to keep the fruit theme going strong.
