Pineapple Marinated Pork Tenderloin
I've never really gotten behind Hawaiian pizza. That much pineapple on a pizza just seems like it would be too sweet, even for someone like me. But the idea of marinating pork in pineapple is something I was totally on board with. This grilled pork tenderloin came out better than we expected. This meal (along with some Copper River salmon) was a great way to christen the start of summer grilling season!
