BAKED STUFFED PINEAPPLE PORK CHOPS
6 ( 1/2-inch) thick center cut pork chops
Stuffing (recipe follows)
1 small can pineapple slices
Preheat oven to 350ºF.
Place pork chops in a baking dish in oven, covered, and bake
approximately 30 minutes. Do not turn over. Pour off excess grease, if
necessary. Do not let the pork chops become too brown.
Stuffing
6 slices day old bread
1 onion (either fried or microwaved)
2 stalks celery, either fried

1 or 2 eggs
Mix all stuffing ingredients with a little water.
Remove pork chops from baking pan; uncover, place stuffing mixture on

One of my favorite things to do with fresh pineapple is to grill it.
Just brush it with a little melted butter and throw it on the grill. When it starts to caramelize on one side, flip it.
Lay it in the center of a plate and top with a scoop of vanilla ice cream. If you really want to gild the lily, add a little warm caramel or dulce de leche over the top.

I have a recipe around here somewheres for a Huli Huli Pineapple. Its basically an entire pineapple that is peeled. Yuo can cut the eyes out by cutting a groove the depth of the eyes from the top to the bottom of the pineapple. With some work, press a Rotiserie skewer through the core. Put this set up on the grill and as it spins glaze the pineapple with a rum caramel sauce to build up a nice glaze. keep the heat low so not to burn the glaze.
This is my favorite use for pineapple .
For the glaze you can cheat by using caramel sauce that you would use for an ice cream topping. Heat about a cup of it over low heat and stir in about 1/4 cup of rum.

Well , I started my diet this past week and I make a delish treat with pineapple
I use 1 can unsweatened crushed pineapple ...drain juice in a small pan add 2 pkg gelatin (the plain kind )... add 1/4 cup water and heat till it desolves
grate 1 carrot
grate 1 cellery stick (removing all strings )
mix 1 pkg of non fat powdered milk with 2 cups cold water
combine everything in a large bowl and refrigerate till it sets
I eat this whenever I feel the need for a treat
if not dieting you can add some sugar or artificial sweatner but I prefer mine without ..Its nice and crunchy so it satifies me between meals .
