Only change I made was using canned diced pineapple (drained - easier than finding a good ripe pineapple in our small town) and 2 sweet red peppers because I had them in refrigerator and needed to use them. Would add sweet peppers to this recipe every time. Used only one jalapeno. Hot enough for us! This is a real keeper and would probably work with pork or shrimp as well.
