   • Begin by trimming any excess fat from the pork tenderloins, ensuring they are clean and ready for seasoning.

2. Prepare the Crockpot:

   • Place the trimmed tenderloins into the crockpot, setting it on low heat.

3. Season with Flavor:

   • Season the pork with a sprinkle of salt and pepper, ensuring an even coating.

4. Create the Pineapple Sauce:

   • In a separate bowl, combine 8 ounces of crushed pineapple (reserve the other 8 ounces for later), 1/4 cup of the pineapple juice, brown sugar, soy sauce, minced garlic, and basil. Mix well to create a flavorful sauce.

5. Pour Over the Tenderloin:

   • Pour the pineapple sauce mixture over the seasoned tenderloins in the crockpot, ensuring they are well coated.

6. Slow Cook for 6 Hours:

   • Cover the crockpot with its lid and cook on low heat for 6 hours, allowing the flavors to meld together and the pork to become tender.

7. Add More Pineapple and Peppers:

   • After 6 hours, remove half of the cooked pineapple (as it will have caramelized) and add the remaining 8 ounces of crushed pineapple and chopped green peppers to the crockpot.

8. Continue Cooking:

   • Cover and continue cooking on low heat for an additional 2 hours, allowing the new ingredients to infuse their flavors into the dish.

9. Create the Glaze:

   • Once the pork is tender and flavorful, remove the tenderloins, green peppers, and pineapple from the crockpot. Drain the remaining juices into a saucepan.

10. Thicken the Sauce:

    • Skim off as much fat as possible from the reserved liquid. Add water until you have about 1 1/2 cups of liquid in the saucepan. In a separate bowl, mix the cornstarch with the remaining 1/2 cup of pineapple juice until smooth.

11. Finish the Sauce:

    • Pour the cornstarch mixture into the saucepan with the reserved liquid. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the sauce thickens to your desired consistency.

12. Serve and Enjoy:

    • Return the pork tenderloins, green peppers, and pineapple to the crockpot. Pour the thickened pineapple glaze over the top, ensuring everything is evenly coated.

13. Serve with Your Favorite Sides:

    • This Pineapple Pork Tenderloin pairs beautifully with rice or noodles, allowing you to soak up every bit of that delicious sauce.
