PINEAPPLE PORK LOIN



Pineapple Pork Loin image

I was in a creative mood last Friday and decided to do some experimenting with pork and pineapple. After mixing the ingredients together and smelling it, I thought I might just have a winner with my family. After it had cooked and cooled a little, I let my girls try it. To my surprise, my 5-year-old, who is very picky, loved it and kept asking for more. I guess I should try to experiment more often.

Tips:

  • Make sure to use fresh pineapple juice for the marinade. This will give the pork the best flavor.
  • If you don't have fresh pineapple juice, you can use canned pineapple juice. Just be sure to dilute it with water, as it can be quite tart.
  • Be sure to marinate the pork for at least 4 hours, or overnight. This will allow the flavors of the marinade to penetrate the meat.
  • When cooking the pork, be sure to cook it over indirect heat. This will help to prevent the pork from drying out.
  • If you are using a grill, be sure to cook the pork over medium-low heat. This will help to prevent the pork from burning.
  • Be sure to baste the pork with the pineapple marinade while it is cooking. This will help to keep the pork moist and flavorful.

Conclusion:

Pineapple marinade is a great way to add flavor and moisture to pork. This marinade is perfect for grilled, roasted, or baked pork. The pineapple juice in the marinade helps to tenderize the pork and give it a slightly sweet flavor. The other ingredients in the marinade, such as garlic, ginger, and soy sauce, add depth of flavor. If you are looking for a delicious and easy way to cook pork, try using a pineapple marinade.
