Slow Cooker Pineapple Pork Loin

This recipe jumped out at me because I have a pork loin in the freezer.  It comes from Facebook and is originally from the Recipes Made Easy Page.  Definitely an excellent Sunday supper.

Ingredients:

• 2-3 pounds pork loin
• 1 can (20 oz) crushed pineapple with juice
• 1/2 cup brown sugar
• 1/4 cup soy sauce
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
• 1 teaspoon ground ginger
• Salt and pepper, to taste 
• Optional: Fresh cilantro or parsley for garnish.

Directions:

• Rub the pork loin with salt and pepper on all sides. 
• Place it in the slow cooker.
• In a small bowl, combine the crushed pineapple (with juice), brown sugar, soy sauce, minced garlic, Dijon mustard, and ground ginger. 
• Stir until well mixed.
• Pour the pineapple mixture over the pork loin in the slow cooker, making sure the pork is well coated with the sauce.
• Cover the slow cooker and cook on low for 6-8 hours or high for 4-5 hours, until the pork is tender and cooked through.
• Once done, remove the pork loin from the slow cooker and let it rest for 10 minutes before slicing.
• Spoon the pineapple sauce from the slow cooker over the sliced pork. 
• Garnish with fresh cilantro or parsley if desired. 
• Serve with rice or vegetables for a complete meal!
