PRIZE-WINNING POLYNESIAN PORK OVER RICE
I recently inherited my Great Aunt's recipe collection. This is a recipe from her recipe box that she clipped out of the Chicago Tribune. It had won the "$5 Favorite Recipe prize." From the splatters on the clipping, I imagine my Aunt enjoyed this one. These days,I might try browning the meat in a little olive oil instead of the bacon drippings. Despite the name, I doubt this is a traditional Polynesian dish, but rather is one inspired by Polynesian cuisine.

- Stir in pineapple with canning juices and bring to a boil.
- Remove from heat and taste for seasonings, adjusting as needed.

Tips:
- For the best results, use a pork loin that is at least 2 inches thick.
- To make sure the pork loin is cooked evenly, use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature. The pork loin should be cooked to an internal temperature of 145 degrees Fahrenheit.
- If you don't have a meat thermometer, you can check the pork loin for doneness by cutting into it. The pork loin should be cooked through, but still slightly pink in the center.
- Let the pork loin rest for 10 minutes before slicing and serving. This will help the juices redistribute throughout the pork loin, making it more tender and flavorful.
- Serve the pork loin with your favorite sides, such as rice, potatoes, or vegetables.
