Preparation

Step 1

In a large resealable plastic bag, combine the flour, oregano, salt, garlic powder and pepper; add the pork chops, one at a time, and shake to coat. In a nonstick skillet, brown chops on both sides in oil. Transfer to a 5-qt. slow cooker.
Drain pineapple, reserving juice; set pineapple aside. In a bowl, combine the 3/4 cup pineapple juice with reserved pineapple juice. Stir in the water, brown sugar, onion and tomato paste; pour over chops. Sprinkle with raisins. Cover and cook on high for 3 to 3-1/2 hours or until meat is tender and a thermometer reads 160°. Stir in reserved pineapple. Cover and cook 10 minutes longer or until heated through. Yield: 6 servings.
