Ingredients
  

For the Sauce

Equipment

Method
 

  1. Mix pineapple juice, brown sugar, cider vinegar, and salt in a bowl.
  2. Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Brown the pork chops on both sides. Remove the pork chops from the skillet.
  3. Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil to the same skillet. Sauté the chopped onions over medium heat until tender.
