Prep Time: 15 minutes

Cook Time: 1 hour 30 minutes

Rest Time: 10 minutes

Total Time: 1 hour 55 minutes

Servings: 6–8

Cuisine: American / Comfort Food

Course: Main Dish

3–4 lbs pork roast (loin or shoulder, boneless)

1 cup pineapple juice (unsweetened)

1–2 cups pineapple chunks (fresh or canned)

½ cup brown sugar

¼ cup soy sauce (low sodium recommended)

4 cloves garlic, minced

1 teaspoon paprika

½ teaspoon black pepper

Salt, to taste

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a roasting pan or baking dish.

Pat the pork roast dry and season all sides with salt, black pepper, and paprika.

In a bowl, whisk together pineapple juice, brown sugar, soy sauce, and minced garlic.

Place the pork roast in the baking dish and pour the pineapple mixture evenly over it.

Add pineapple chunks around the roast to soak in the glaze.

Cover loosely with foil and roast for 60 minutes.

Remove the foil, baste the pork with pan juices, and roast uncovered for 25–30 more minutes, basting again if desired.

Check doneness: the internal temperature should reach 145°F (63°C).

Remove from oven and let rest for 10 minutes before slicing.

Serve warm with the pineapple glaze spooned over the top.

Use unsweetened pineapple juice to control sweetness.

Baste the pork during cooking for extra juiciness.

Let the roast rest before slicing to lock in moisture.

Steamed jasmine or coconut rice

Roasted or mashed sweet potatoes

Garlic green beans or roasted vegetables

Refrigerate: Up to 4 days in an airtight container

Freeze: Up to 3 months (slice before freezing)

Reheat: Oven at low heat with a splash of pineapple juice to retain moisture
