Sweet jeebus that looks delicious! Very cool idea!

Okay, I saw this on FB last week done with boneless country ribs. I like your tenderloin idea better. Did the pork stay moist?
One tenderloin per pineapple?
Sorry about all of the questions, but enquiring minds want to know!

Pork was very moist

One tenderloin per pineapple

The recipe circulating that calls for country style ribs works also , I just find tenderloin comes out better in the end product .

Not too many places you would see this statement:

"One tenderloin per pineapple "


I've wrapped a lot of stuff in bacon, but this, my man, is a new twist !!!!


Well Done !!!!!

Select a pineapple that's both fat and long if possible , look for a golden color as they are typically riper.

Season and then Brown your pork , pan or grill it, put a nice crust on the outside

Core and skin pineapple leave about one inch of the pineapple on the outside and leave the bottom for a cap . Save the pineapple pieces for a glaze .

Stuff pork into pineapple and tooth pick on the cap .

Season the pineapple with anything you like,  I used garlic and pepper .

Next wrap in thick cut bacon , do not stretch the bacon or it will break in the cooking process , cover pineapple completely and throughly using tooth picks to hold the bacon . I used a pepper bacon . You want the bacon to form a crust keeping the pineapple juice sealed in as best as possible .

Smoke at 240- 250 for 3-5 hours until pork reaches 170 internal temp .

Glaze for the last hour

Glaze recipe  -  cook pineapple in sauce pan on low for several hours , add 1 cup brown sugar , two table spoons orange or lemon juice, 1/4 tsp salt and pepper, reduce down until it makes about a cup

make a slurry with corn starch and slowly add to pan until it resembles jam or jelly and the glazes thickens
