  • Combine tomato paste, pineapple juice, raisins, brown sugar, cornstarch, vinegar, ginger, red pepper flakes, and seasoned salt in a medium bowl and set aside.
  • Rinse pork chops and pat dry. Melt butter in a cast iron skillet over medium-high heat. Add chops and brown on both sides, 5 to 8 minutes total. Do not drain the skillet.
  • Pour in the tomato paste mixture, reduce heat, and let simmer until sauce thickens to a gravy consistency and pork is no longer pink in the center, about 20 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center of each chop should read 145 degrees F (63 degrees C).
