Pork Chops Or Pork Ribs With Apricot Pineapple Sauce

Meat is browned with fat drained. Ribs are cut in 2 or 3 rib pieces the sauce is poured over and the meat is baked . Everything can be made ahead of time, refrigerated and then baked. I like to use pork chops but any type of chop can be used, venison, elk, buffalo or beef round steak cut in serving pieces. grilled pineapple can be served as a side dish with rice or noodles or mashed potatoes. The recipe started from using pineapple juice thickened with cornstarch and soaked dried apricots; years ago there was not combination preserves to the present recipe posted.photos show pork chops, steak and maui maui fish. It is delicious with all meats.
