Pork Roasts are the one meat that we always have in our freezer. I usually by them in one big bulk loin at Costco, and then cut them up into 4 roasts. We got tired of having them prepared the same way over & over though – so I began experimenting in the kitchen with new ways to eat them.

This Sweet Chipotle version came to be from having a small can of chipotle peppers in adobe sauce in the fridge that had been opened, and really needed to be used. It took me a couple of times adding in a little of this, and a little of that til I finally came up with this humzinger of a recipe. It’s so good, that it’s now hard to eat a pork roast any other way. I am halfway tempted of drinking a glass of the glaze because of how seriously yummy it is. This would not only be a great main dish for every day, but it would be a wonderful addition to your holiday table.

Ingredients

1 3-5 pound pork roast
1 20oz can of crushed pineapple, 1/2 the juice drained out
1 to 3 chipotle peppers depending on how spicy you want it
1 cup honey
1 tsp fresh grated ginger
salt & pepper to taste

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Combine the pineapple, chipotle peppers, honey, & ginger together in a small saucepan & bring to a slow boil. Turn the heat to low & simmer for about 15 minutes.
Salt & pepper the pork loin to taste. Place the roast on a roasting rack, and pour 3/4 cup of water in the bottom of the pan. Drizzle 1/2 cup of the glaze over the roast. Cover tightly with aluminum foil.
Bake until the internal temperature reaches 135 degrees using an internal thermometer. Remove the tinfoil, pour another 1/2 cup of glaze on top and continue cooking until the internal temp reaches 150. Remove from the oven & let rest for 15 minutes. It will continue cooking a little & reach the right temp by then.
Slice the roast, and serve with the additional glaze.
