Honey Glazed Pork Chops

These pork chops are AMAZING to say the very least. J.D. made them for me on a Sunday about 6 weeks ago and the next weekend we went to Idaho and I made them for my dad...sooo yummy!!

Honey Glazed Pork Chops

1 large can pineapple chunks or tidbits
4 center cut pork chops (We like the thick cut)
2 Tbsp oil
1 large onion, finely chopped
1 clove garlic, minced
1/4 c honey
1/4 c. soy sauce
1 tsp ground ginger (optional) J.D. used it but I didn't...it was great either way
1 tsp salt
1 Tbsp corn starch
1 bell pepper, chunked (We haven't used this but it's in the recipe. If you like them, go for it!)

Drain pineapple, reserving the juice. You will need at least 1/3 cup of juice. Brown pork chops in oil and remove from pan. Saute onion and garlic in remaining oil in pan until soft. Stir in honey, soy sauce, ginger, salt and pineapple juice. Return pork chops to pan and simmer, covered for 30 minutes. Turn over pork chops half way through.
Remove chops again. Take approx 1/4 cup of sauce from pan to mix with corn starch. Stir mixture back into pan. Add bell pepper and pineapple until pepper in tender crisp (approx 15 minutes) Return pork chops to pan for another 15 minutes.
Serve over rice with the pan juices over the chops and rice.
