Instructions
1. Prepare the Pork Loin
- Season the pork loin with salt and pepper on all sides.
- Place the seasoned pork loin into the bottom of your slow cooker.
2. Make the Pineapple Glaze
- In a mixing bowl, combine the pineapple chunks (with juice), teriyaki sauce, honey, soy sauce, minced garlic, and grated ginger.
- Stir the mixture until everything is well incorporated.
- Pour the pineapple glaze mixture over the pork loin in the slow cooker.
3. Slow Cook to Perfection
- Cover and cook on LOW for 6-8 hours or on HIGH for 4 hours. The pork should be fork-tender and easily shred when ready.
- Optional (for thicker sauce): About 30 minutes before the cooking time ends, remove the pork loin and stir in 1 tbsp cornstarch mixed with 2 tbsp water into the sauce to thicken. Return the pork to the sauce and let it cook for the remaining time.
4. Shred & Serve
- Once the pork is cooked and tender, remove it from the slow cooker and shred it using two forks.
- Serve the shredded pork with the pineapple glaze over rice, noodles, or alongside roasted vegetables.
- Garnish with fresh cilantro or green onions, if desired.
