Julia's Collections

When my mother passed away 20 years ago, my sisters and I had the not-so-fun job of going through her treasures. No one spoke for her recipe collections, so I grabbed them. You see, my mom was a fantastic cook. It seemed a shame to me to have those recipes go unclaimed! Well, here we are, 20 years later; and those recipes have rested in their special place on my closet shelf waiting to be tried . . . .

1 cup sliced onions
1/2 cup water
1 cup uncooked rice

1 tsp. salt
1 10-oz. can pineapple tidbits
2 tsp. sugar
Brown chops on both sides in heavy skillet. Drain fat, sprinkle with salt & chili powder. Top with onions. Add 1/2 cup water. Cover & cook slowly 30 min. Remove chops. Cover to keep warm. Put rice, remaining water, salt, undrained pineapple & sugar in pan. Push rice to sides of pan & arrange chops down center overlapping them slightly.
