08 Step
Recipe View
In a blender, combine the pineapple chunks and the pan drippings. Blend until smooth and creamy, creating a luscious sauce to serve alongside the pork loin. (3 minutes)
For an extra depth of flavor, try adding a pinch of red pepper flakes to the honey-mustard glaze.
Fresh pineapple can be used in place of canned pineapple chunks. Just be sure to peel, core, and chop it into bite-sized pieces.
If you don't have a cast iron skillet, you can sear the pork loin in any heavy-bottomed skillet.
Serve this pork loin with a side of roasted vegetables or a fresh green salad for a complete and balanced meal.
Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently in the oven or microwave.
