Reviews
too soft – felt pineapple and teriyaki flavor lacked.
I doubled the sauce recipe and thickened it before serving. Served the sauce over both the pork and the rice which I served as a side. A fabulous and super easy recipe
Meat was tender. Not a strong teriyaki or pineapple flavor. Sauce was thin so I put it in a pan on stovetop and thickened it with cornstarch.
I thought it was good. The pork chops fell to pieces so I didn’t even need a knife to eat them with. I like them like that. I used canned pineapple instead of pineapple juice as I didn’t have any pineapple juice and did have pineapple .
The biggest change I made was to use butterfly pork chops and insert 1 and a half pinapple rings in between 2 of the pork chops after the grilling. I then secured them with tooth picks around the perimeter of the chops. I then used two sprigs of fresh rosemary instead of dried rosemary in the slow cooker. The rest was the same as the original recepie.
