Super Tender Pineapple Pork

I am a huge huge fan of pineapple! I love pineapple fried rice, pineapple juice, everything pineapple.

I made this pork recipe for dinner the other day and it came out so so tender, sweet and spicy. I decided to film and share this recipe with you. I hope you will like it!
