Sweet and Savory Pineapple Pork Loin

My Sweet and Savory Pineapple Pork Loin recipe is the perfect combination of sweet and salty, a wonderful weeknight meal or perfect Saturday dinner to share with friends! Pineapple is such a great ingredient to cook with and works so well with Asian food.

It’s a great compliment to the pork, and when it’s cooked down in the pork juices as the loin bakes in the oven, it becomes deliciously syrupy and rich with meat juices. Blended with honey and mustard, it’s the perfect sauce to pour over the meat when you serve it, sticky and sweet, but with a good kick from the mustard to balance out the flavors.

To make Sweet and Savory Pineapple Pork Loin, you will need the following ingredients:

So, how to make Sweet and Savory Pineapple Pork Loin?

Steps to make Sweet and Savory Pineapple Pork Loin

1	Heat the oven	5
Preheat the oven to 400°F.
2	Make the marinade	1
In a small bowl, whisk together the honey, mustard and pepper.
3	Brown the pork loin	5
Place a skillet over a medium-high heat and heat until sizzling. Add the pork loin and cook for around 5 minutes, turning every so often, until browned all over. Place the pork in a baking tray or leave on the skillet.
4	Baste the pork	1
Pour the honey mixture over the pork and spread it until fully coated.
5	Add the pineapple and season	2
Add the pineapple to the tray and spread around the pork. Sprinkle the pork with salt.
6	Bake the pork	40
Cover the tray with aluminum foil and put in the oven to bake for 5 minutes, before reducing the temperature to 375°F and cooking for a further 30-45 minutes until cooked through. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 145°F.
7	Rest the pork	5
Remove the baking tray from the oven and leave the pork to rest for 3-5 minutes.
8	Blend the pineapple	1
In the meantime, pour the pineapple and juices from the tray into a blender and blend until smooth.
9	Serve	5
Serve the pork with the pineapple sauce.

Serve my Sweet and Savory Pineapple Pork Loin with a side of fragrant rice and stir-fried broccoli, all coated in the syrupy pineapple sauce. It’s utterly delicious! What do you think? I’d love to hear how you find it so don’t forget to come back and leave me your thoughts!
