- Begin by trimming any excess fat from the pork tenderloins, ensuring they are clean and ready for seasoning.
Prepare the Crockpot:
- Place the trimmed tenderloins into the crockpot, setting it on low heat.
Season with Flavor:
- Season the pork with a sprinkle of salt and pepper, ensuring an even coating.
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.
Pour Over the Tenderloin:
- Pour the pineapple sauce mixture over the seasoned tenderloins in the crockpot, ensuring they are well coated.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
