Made for 1-2-3 Hit Wonders. I'm not leaving any stars on this only for the simple reason that the recipe was not very clear on what to do with the pineapple and the reserved juice. I mixed the juice with the brown sugar, Dijon mustard and spices ~ but I don't think this was right. The flavor of the pork was really good and I might just make this again if the directions were clearer.

ABSOLUTELY WONDERFUL PORK DISH! I really enjoyed the combo of pineapple, mustard & ginger, & although I did follow the list of ingredients, I used slightly less than the indicated amount of red pepper flakes! Thanks so much for sharing the recipe! [Tagged, made & reviewed in Zaar Chef Alphabet Soup cooking game]
