I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my pork chops were dry and the fruit topping was too sweet.

I love that this recipe is so versatile. I've used different types of fruit in the topping, and I've even used different types of meat, like chicken or turkey.

This recipe is perfect for a summer cookout. The pork chops can be grilled or cooked in a skillet, and the fruit topping can be made ahead of time.

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover fruit. I had some bananas and apples that were about to go bad, and they were perfect for the topping.
