Spiced Pineapple Pork
If you’re getting tired of having the same old ham or turkey for Christmas Dinner, or are looking for something simple but impressive for a Holiday party, give this spiced pineapple pork a try. The tenderloin is always nice and tender and the fruit and spices add a lot of extra flavor.
Of course this recipe isn’t just for the Holidays. It would make a nice Sunday dinner throughout the year. Serve it with either rice or potatoes and your favorite vegetables. Leftover pork is great on a salad for lunch or dinner the next day.
