Some meals are meant to wake up your taste buds—and this is one of them. Pork chops paired with caramelized pineapple bring a sweet, tropical flavor, while a drizzle of SHoney Pineapple Ghost Pepper Infused Honey delivers just the right kick of heat. It’s a perfect balance of savory, sweet, and spicy that turns a weeknight dinner into something unforgettable.
Ingredients:
- 4 bone-in pork chops
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- Salt & pepper, to taste
- 1 cup fresh pineapple rings
- 2 tbsp butter
- 3 tbsp SHoney Pinapple Ghost Pepper Infused Honey
- 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
- 1 tsp fresh thyme (optional)
Instructions:
1. Prep the pork: Pat pork chops dry and season with salt and pepper.
2. Sear: Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high. Sear chops for 3–4 minutes per side until golden brown. Remove and set aside.
3. Pineapple glaze: In the same pan, melt butter. Add pineapple rings and cook until caramelized (about 2–3 minutes per side).
4. Add the heat: Stir in SHoney Pineapple Ghost Pepper Infused Honey and apple cider vinegar. Let it bubble for 1–2 minutes, stirring to combine.
5. Finish: Return pork chops to the pan, spoon glaze over the top, and cook until internal temp reaches 145°F. Sprinkle with fresh thyme, if desired.
6. Serve: Plate with extra pineapple and glaze drizzled on top.
This dish pairs beautifully with coconut rice, roasted veggies, or a crisp green salad. The ghost pepper honey adds a slow, warming heat that keeps you coming back for just one more bite.
