Pineapple and Rum Pork Chops



Tender pork chops smothered in a gorgeous sauce make for a scrumptious weeknight dinner. What makes this recipe extra spectacular is the added rum and pineapple chunks that give the ordinary pork chops a restaurant quality. These two ingredients contribute extra bitterness and tartness to the sweet flavor profile of the base barbecue sauce. There is also a hint of tartness coming from the apple cider vinegar. All these layers of flavors mend together to create a perfectly piquant glaze that is simple enough to prepare on busy days yet still having that extra edge.
