Ingredients

  • 1/2 fresh pineapple
  • 2 1/2 pounds pork
  • BBQ pork rub
  • 1/4 cup water

Equipment

  • 12 inch Dutch oven
  • Dutch oven liner (optional)

Directions

  • Remove the rind from the pineapple and cut half the flesh into slices.
  • Place a liner in a Dutch oven, then evenly lay the pineapple slices across the bottom.
    Tip: Using a liner is recommended when cooking with highly acidic ingredients such as pineapple.
  • Evenly sprinkle the rub all over the piece of pork.
  • Place the pork on top of the pineapple. Add the small amount of water to help the pineapple not stick or burn at the beginning of cooking, then roast for 2 to 2 1/2 hours.
  • Check that the pork is cooked to your preferred doneness. To slice it is a shorter cook time than to pull.
  • Remove the pork and rest while you cut the pineapple into smaller pieces. Then slice or pull the pork. Serve as desired.
