10 thick pork chops (always allow one per person) 12 ounces ketchup (about half a bottle) 1-1/2 cups water 1/2 cup sugar 1/2 cup vinegar Salt and pepper to taste 1 small can crushed pineapple

Brown the pork chops slowly in a greased skillet just to a light golden brown; remove and transfer to an oven pan. Chops should be arranged in a single layer. In a saucepan, mix the remaining ingredients, except for the pineapple; bring to a boil and cook to thicken. Pour the sauce over the pork chops; top with the crushed pineapple, juice and all. Cover with foil and bake in a preheated 275 degree oven for 2-1/2 to 3 hours
