A few weeks ago a went to a Hawaiian themed girl's night that featured homemade coconut ice cream topped with broiled pineapple, oh it was good. But ever since that night, I have not been able to leave the grocery store without a fresh pineapple to enjoy all by ourselves. Fresh pineapple is such a treat, for some reason I feel like I'm being so indulgent when I get one, I just love that sweet sweet juicy fruit!
So I was really excited when I found this recipe because if pineapples pairs with anything well (besides coconut), it's pork! I love that sweet and salty combination, and this did not look like it would disappoint.
This was so juicy and delicious, and the pineapple topped it all off beautifully. The recipe came with the ingredients to make a ginger sauce. I didn't make it because I ran out of ingredients, but I will post it for you. Let me know if you try it.

From Great Food Fast
Ingredients
4 slices, 1/2 inch thick, fresh pineapple
3 tablespoons dark hoisin sauce
2 teaspoons grated peeled fresh ginger
1 garlic clove minced
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
1 1/2 lbs pork tenderloin trimmed
coarse salt and pepper
Directions
1. Heat broiler. Place the pineapple slices on a foil-lined baking sheet
2. In a small bowl, combine the hoisin sauce, ginger, garlic, and mustard.
3. Place the pork in the broiler, about 4 inches from the heat; place the pineapple in the oven. Broil the pork until it registers 155F on an instant-read thermometer, 15-20 minutes. Remove from the broiler (let rest for at least 10 minutes before slicing; the temp will rise to 160 as it sits). Turn the pineapple slices; cook until browned in spots, about 10 minutes more.
4. Halve the pineapple slices; arrange on a platter with the sliced pork. Drizzle the pork with the pan juices; season with salt and pepper. Serve with the quick ginger sauce.
