Tips
- Pineapple juice helps tenderize pork naturally.
- Use leaner pork if you want lower fat and calories.
- For a thicker sauce, remove pork at the end, simmer liquid in crockpot 10–15 minutes before mixing back.
I can also make a low-carb/keto version, a meal-prep batch version, or a sweeter version with more pineapple flavor.
