| 15 | +I was tooling around online and I read about a thing called a "Swineapple", which is pork tenderloin |
| 16 | +(or other cuts) put into a skinned and cored pineapple which is wrapped in bacon, then the whole |
| 17 | +thing grilled; I just had to give it a shot, so I roped Cora into helping me |
| 18 | + |
| 19 | +{: lqip='ingredients.lqip.jpg' } |
| 20 | + |
| 21 | +First, we need a whole pineapple, some pork, and a pack of bacon. |
| 22 | + |
| 23 | +{: lqip='coring-pineapple.lqip.jpg' } |
| 24 | + |
| 25 | +Cut the top off the pineapple, peel the skin off, and then core the inside to leave a cavity for |
| 26 | +the pork. |
| 27 | + |
| 28 | +{: lqip='pork-laid-out.lqip.jpg' } |
| 29 | + |
| 30 | +Slice the pork into long strips, then stuff them into the pineapple. |
| 31 | + |
| 32 | +{: lqip='bacon-weave.lqip.jpg' } |
| 33 | + |
| 34 | +Now create the bacon weave by ... uh ... weaving the bacon together into a mat. |
| 35 | + |
| 36 | +{: lqip='prepped.lqip.jpg' } |
| 37 | + |
| 38 | +Wrap the pineapple in the bacon weave, pinning it in place with some toothpicks |
| 39 | + |
| 40 | +{: lqip='on-display.lqip.jpg' } |
| 41 | + |
| 42 | +While this part isn't _necessary_, it certainly helps the display. Tack the pineapple top |
| 43 | +back onto the rest using toothpicks. Now grill over medium heat for 45 min-an hour until |
| 44 | +the pork is done (you can use a meat thermometer, but make sure you get it into the pork, not |
| 45 | +just the pineapple). |
| 46 | + |
| 47 | +{: lqip='grilling.lqip.jpg' } |
| 48 | + |
| 49 | +When it's finished cooking, it's gonna look nice and brown; slice it into disks like the post preview |
| 50 | +photo and you're done! |
| 51 | + |
| 52 | +Hope you enjoy your own, if you make one. Thanks for reading! |
