Slow Cooker Pineapple Pork Roast Reviews
This was a really great idea. I didnt use the Craisins. What I did was take a can of whole cranberry sauce and mashed with with a potato masher, mixed it with the pinapple and then poured it over the pork. It was excellent. The can of cranberry sauce is alot cheaper too and I think the craisins wouldnt have been as much flavor. Thanks for the recipe
Excellent I made a number of changes though. Used pineapple tidbits. Reduced the cranberries to about half. Reduced the seasoned salt to just a pinch. Added half a large onion, chopped. Added half a cup of teriyaki marinade. Added about a tablespoon of dried minced garlic. Added about a quarter teaspoon of dried thyme. And a pinch each of cinnamon and cayenne pepper. Served over rice. I will definitely be making this again.
Folks- really? Why review a recipe you didnt actually make according to the ingredients and directions provided - and decided to just make up your own recipe? Jeesh. However - I agree this is a good "starter"- something you can tweak to make your own. But if youre adding ten different ingredients, its not Slow Cooker Pineapple Pork Roast, its Your Teriyaki Onion Ginger Peppered Pineapple Pork Roast
I really liked this recipe and so did my family and my guests. I did use a variation. I read all of the reviews and went from there. I chopped a yellow onion and put that on the bottom of the crock pot, put thyme, pepper and rosemary on a 3 lb pork tenderloin and then topped it with terriyaki sauce. I put in a generous amount and then added the pineapple and cranberries. I did not use salt since I was using terriyaki and that is salty. It was great - moist and had lots of nice flavor. The best thing was that it was very, very easy
I give this a guarded 4 stars because I would not use a roast for this recipe again. I will, however, use this recipe again for pork chops, small pork loin, or chicken breasts instead. The rest of the recipe is great - a nice, light fruit flavor (I used spicy seasoning salt)....but there is not enough liquid to cover the entire roast - so if you do use a roast - turn it over halfway through, so the top half doesnt dry out. Again - a very nice flavor. If you are looking for more spice - you might have to add a splash of teryaki or soy sauce. Great way to get fruit into a meal
It was really, really good. I did not have dried cranberries so I used a can of whole cranberries juice and all. I also added one sweet onion. Next time I will also put green peppers in it and serve it over rice.
I did this a little differently. I pierced the meat and sprinkled it with season salt, garlic powder, black pepper and onion powder. I then put meat on top of sliced onions in a roaster and poured the cranberry/pineapple mixture over it. I used whole cranberry sauce. I baked covered at 350 for 1 1/2 hours or till the temp was 155 then let sit for 15 mins before slicing. Delish Tender and great with mashed potatoes and seasoned green beans.
Great recipe If you, like me, dont have enough pineapple follow recommendations of others: add teriyaki marinade/sauce. I also added onions (on the bottom---I love the flavor they add).We will do this one again and again Yummy.
Delicious...I did modify it a bit. I had a smaller pork loin roast 13/4 lbs, cooked on high for 4 hours. I put some sliced vadalia onions on bottom and drizzled some sweet catalina dressing over the onions, pork on top, lots of pepper and a little salt, pineapple on top...the last 30 minutes i put some sliced green peppers on top with a little more salt. I didnt have any cranberries this time. Moist, tender, very good Thanks for sharing :)
Made with boston butt roast. Sliced onion on bottom and seasoned meat with a pinch of thyme and garlic powder.Added can of pineapple and juice,soy sauce, 1/2 amt. craisins and sprinkled brown sugar over all.Cooked 2 hours on high and 1 hour on low. Very moist and tasty roast. Strained the juices and thickened to make gravy for rice. A good basic recipe that can be tweaked to your liking.
Added 1/2 cup terkayki, and a bit of fresh chopped rosemary and thyme. Used can of whole cranberries instead. Also used cheaper pork roast with bone and removed bone just before serving. Guest raved about the taste. Keeper
Great I also used 1 can of cranberry sauce, that I pureed and added to the can of pineapple chunks. I cooked it on high for 4 hrs. It was amazing and I will be making this again soon Thanks for the recipe.
Great with modifications suggested by other readers. I layered the bottom with onions, then placed 2 pork tenderloins down and seasoned them with thyme, pepper, a small amount of seasoned salt, and cayenne pepper. I then poured in some teriayaki sauce, a can of diced pineapples with juice, and a can of whole cranberry sauce (mushed first). I topped it off with a little chicken broth to make sure the meat was covered. Then covered and put on low for 8+ hours. The pork was so incredibly flavorful and tender. Barely needed a knife to cut it Would def. recommend with moderations above. Thanks to users who experimented
This is one of the best things that has ever come out of my crockpot I used a pork tenderloin that already comes marinated in teriyaki sauce. I cut up a sweet onion for the bottom of the pot, and then poured in the can of pineapple chunks and a can of whole cranberry sauce. This cooked on low for about 10 hours because I was at work at all day. It was perfect...hardly any leftovers
I tried this and it was absolutely wonderful and tender. I used a pork shoulder and seasoned it all over with the basics: Sazon, Minced Garlic, Garlic Powder, Onion Powder, White Pepper, Black Pepper, Dry Rosemary, and Oregeno. I mashed together 1/2 can of Jellied Cranberry Sauce (instead of Craisins), 20 oz can of pineapple chunks and 1/2 cup teriyaki sauce. I also used 2 medium onions and 1 Green & Red Pepper. I layered the bottom of the slow cooker first with sliced onions (1) , green (1/2) & red (1/2) bell pepper slices. I placed the shoulder on top and then placed remaining Onions/Peppers slices. I poured the Cranberry mixture over the shoulder and cooked on a high setting for 4 hours. Simply Delicious.
My husband, 3 year old and 1 year old love this recipe I love how simple it is to throw in the crockpot before work I didnt change a thing...tastes great
Everyone enjoyed this the first night. The meat was very tender, the taste "different, but good." No one liked it when I served it as leftovers. They ate the sides I served -- mashed potatoes, green beans, and corn, but put their forks down after one bite of the leftover meat & sauce. I wound up throwing it out which is not something Im used to, nor do I like doing. I wont be making it again unless I have enough people here to finish it the first night.
Wow this was surprisingly wonderful for such simple ingredients. I did add 1/2 c teriyaki sauce and garlic cloves. Pork was very tender and moist. I cut the pork roast in several large chunks so the acid from the pineapple juice could penetrate the meat fully. Served with mashed red potatoes and broccoli for a simple, easy, and tasty meal. My 15 yr old son RAVED about it and my not-so-pork-loving husband liked it. Will definitely make again and use chicken too.
This is a wonderful recipe and so adaptable , to additions of you own choosing. I made it for visiting family, and they loved it I added soy sauce, a little brown sugar and cider vinegar the next day, reheated and voila We had sweet & sour pork over rice. The pineapple juice is just the right base for this.
I thought this was delicious and very easy to make.
This is the best and easiest recipe to do. If your not a salt lover than this is the recope for you. I made this as directed except I used lawrys season salt and garlic salt. I rolled the pork in the salt mixture. Then, I poked holes throughout pork roast. I set the cooker to medium and cooked it for 6 hrs. This roast came out wonderfully seasoned, juicy, delicious and season lightly. I would make this again. My family loved. Teresa
Very easy and tasty I used a 1/4 soy sauce and fresh tyme and rosemary. When roast was done I took out the meat, pineapple and cranberries with slotted spoon and thickened juice into a gravy with cornstarch/water mix. Also used crushed pineapple cuz its all I had. Will make again
I seared the roast first, and then followed the rest of the instructions, and it turned out SO yummy Really fruity, which I loved. My 3 year old loved it too
I only had a larger bone-in roast, so I adjusted the cooking time accordingly. This pork was so good it almost melted in my mouth. We had leftovers that made excellent pulled pork sandwiches. I also used some of the leftovers to make stuffed pastry rolls as appetizers for a dinner. Yum
Delicious. i used pork shoulder cause my farm didnt have roast and 2/3 of a fresh cut pineapple and added about 2 cups of water.
This recipe has got to be the best kept secret out there. With this kind flavour it is just "sick" how easy it is to make. We have even used equal weight of pork chops and yep still AWESOME.
VERY GOOD DISH My mom just made this (Im writing this from her account) and boy, it was delicious. Im your average hungry 16-year-old teen, and my sister and I really enjoyed this. Its got tons of flavor, its very tender, and all i can say is if you have kids, they will certainly like this Also, it was pretty easy for my mom to make, so if youre one of those high-maintanance moms out there, this is the dish for you
I poured a cup of brewed coffee onto this. It turned out really good..
I used this recipe as a base and added my own special touch. First I browned off my pork roast in a little olive oil and butter. I took out the roast and added 1 chopped onion, stirred them around a few minutes then added 1 can of pineapple chunks and stirred to get the goodies off the bottom of pan. I then dumped mixture in crock pot on top of roast. I added about 3/4 cup of soy sauce, a dash of apple cider vinegar, and juice of 1/2 lemon,and just threw the lemon half in the pot. seasoned with tsp. garlic and onion powder. I did not add cranberries at all, cooked on low for 7 hours. It was absolutly delicious. I was hoping it would not be too sweet, and it wasnt. The pineapple was still kind of crunchy, oh I forgot I added 3 carrots, chopped in chunks to the mix. I will definately use this recipe many times. Served over rice. This is my first review. I was so impressed with the results I just had to share.
I have made this twice now, once using whole cranberry sauce as I didnt have the dried, and it was really good. Tonight I made with the dried, but we are cutting back on salt so I stuck some cloves in it and put in some cinnamon and then added a tablespoon brown sugar/Splenda blend and it was amazing I think its going to be a staple from now on. Made rice and green beans with it and needed no desert. The sauce was great over the rice too. My husband cleaned his plate in record time. It was better than a glazed ham even.
I give it 4 stars only because I added a little to it. I didnt put in the cranberries..I didnt have any, but I added about a 1/4 bottle of honey hoisin stir fry sauce. Kept everything else the same, but used chops instead of roast. If you use a roast I would recommend more honey hoisin sauce. It turned out amazing Even the kids loved it.
I put onions in the bottom but I dont think they were needed. This dish is great. I did cut my roast into one inch chunks. Served o er brownrice. This is a keeper and so easy. I cooked on high for 4 hours.
This was a winner. My husband went back for thirds I did follow other reviewers comments and used a can of whole cranberry sauce instead of dried cranberries. With the pineapple, the cranberry sauce combined for a nice sauce. I served it over rice.
This was so easy, I couldnt believe it would turn out so great. I followed some of the other suggestions, ie; I sliced a sweet onion & put it in first, used cranberry sauce instead of dried cranberries, & sprinkled the pork with thyme, rosmary & fresh ground pepper. Easy enough for during the week, fancy enough for comapany.
My family loves this recipe, and I love how easy it is Ive done it with and without the cranberries, and I dont really notice a difference. Lately Ive just been leaving them out because I dont usually have them onhand. Delicious either way though
WHOOEEE My husband is NOT a meat eater but cant keep his akhands off of the leftovers--if there are any. Since he cant handle fat of any kind, I use pork tenderloin. As others mentioned, I slice a Vadalia onion for under the roast, use a can of whole cranberry sauce and tweak it with teriyaki sauce. The ease of preparation makes this one a 6 star.
Great, family-friendly, EASY first used Lawrys 30 minute teriaki pineapple marinate....also I did mine with carrots, - delish cooked with pineapple.. sort of sweet candied.. 2 lg slices of onion, and added pea pods near the end and served over rice
I had high hopes for this recipe. I was disappointed. Followed the directions exactly...the meat was tender but somewhat dry and flavorless. The pineapple and cranberry sauce was good (added a little cornstarch to thicken) but nothing special. If I make it again, I would cut the pork into cubes before adding to the crockpot to see if that would increase the flavor.
I made this pretty much to the recipe directions except reduced cranberries to 1 C (looked like more than enough to me) and used 8oz. can of crushed pineapple and 8oz. can of chunk pineapple because thats what I had on hand. About 2 hours before serving, I mixed in cornstarch/water to thicken the sauce a bit, thinking it might make a nice glaze and gravy for rice. This worked well. I really wanted to love this recipe but it was just so-so, not too inspiring. I wont be making this one again, but if I did, Id make sure to add more salt.
Brilliant in its simplicity. There is a lot of juice at the end - I discarded most and used around cup full for gravy by processing the juices with a little of the pineapple and cranberry - v tasty I also served a small side dish of strained pineapple and cranberry (like a chutney almost). Rave reviews from everyone - very sticky and sweet and perfect in sandwiches the next day. Will absolutely make again
I followed this recipe exactly; what a winner My family loved it. I used a 3.5 pound Boston butt roast and it was fall-apart tender after 9 hours on low. I served the fruited juices in a bowl and we spooned it over the meat. Doesnt get any easier than this.
First time cooked pork in crock pot and would do it again with this recipe. Used Crushed pineapple worked out great
I thought this was good but not great. I had to add a bit of water halfway through because it looked like it was getting overcooked (which equals dry in the slow cooker). I served it over couscous (which I made with orange juice to blend flavors with the pork) and a side of broccoli. It went well together, but next time I think Ill tweak the recipe.
I made this with no modifications except whole cranberries instead of craisins. Couldnt really detect a fruity hint at all on this. Turned out very tender though
I was disappointed in this recipe- I followed suggestions of others to add onion, teriyaki sauce and some seasonings. The roast was very bland tasting. I wont make this recipe again.
Followed others suggestions and added a bit of teriyaki sauce (yoshidas) and some onion on the bottom but otherwise followed directions. Served my family and inlaws and they rated it 5 stars, my FIL rated it 3 platefuls Will definately make it again.
I made this recipe as is.. it was absolutely delicious the entire family loved it .. and it even looked super pretty when I pulled it out of the crockpot with all the pineapples and cranberries stuck to the roast.
I took advice from some other reviews and used some onion and a can of whole cranberries it was delicious even my 7yr old loved it
I made this dish for my family and it was a hit. I changed it up of course, by removing the cranberries and seasoning it with cinnamon, allspice, and garlic instead. I also used crushed pinneapple instead of chunked. DELICIOUS
Did not like at all. The cranberry and pineapple didnot go weel at all together.
So easy and so delicious
LOVE this recipe Very easy and leftovers are awesome
Absolutely delicious. One of my favorite ways to make pork tenderloin.
Great taste, texture and wonderful for leftovers.
Was looking for a different recipe for a pork roast. after reading the reviews, decided to try this recipe. I put in a can of cranberries and dried cranberries. still seems like its missing something, but it was very good. I did use cold water and cornstarch to thicken the juice left in crockpot to put over the rice and pork roast. the family loved it
fall apart tender, but I didnt think the flavor was that great. Id give it a B
I made it exactly as the recipe was written and it turned out very moist and with great flavor My husband couldnt stop saying "mmmm" with each bite. I just dumped it all in the crock pot and that was it. This will be great to serve to company.
Ive made this twice and both times have thought "WOW This is really good". And so quick and easy.
Pretty good. I would make this again. I seasoned the pork with salt, pepper, garlic and onion powder. After adding the pineapple and cranberries I sprinkled brown sugar like others suggested. Served it with white rice and it was really tasty.
This was fantastic Super easy to make, and full of delicious flavors. My wife, whos not really into pineapple really loved this as well. I added a yellow onion into the mix and that worked well. Thanks
Oh Wow What a surprise this recipe was3 min prep in the kitchen & outta there for 4 hours (on high) Replaced fresh cranberries with 1 can of whole cranberry sauce, added a few slices of jalapeo peppers, Served it on bed of rice with tossed salad & viola Dinner was served & throughly enjoyed... A real keeper.
This is going in my recipe box. I have 3 kids (5, 7, & 9) and all ate like it was the best meal ever. I did add 1/2 a chopped purple onion, extra dried cranberries and cooked 2 hrs on high and 2 hrs on low. I served w/ asiago cheese bread. I will be doing this recipe again soon. So simple and the flavors meld wonderfully
Very tasty and interesting blend of flavors. I left out the seasoned salt and added a sweet onoin chopped. Crushed pineapple is what I had on hand so I used it, also added 1/4 cup of Teryaki sauce to the mix and marinated it 24 hrs. then cooked every thing in a bag. Wonderful Christmas Dinner
My husband and I didnt like this one. It stayed in the slow cooker for the perfect amount of time and it was dry. We found a different recipe we like better.
I took everyones advice and used onions and canned cranberries. The family loved it. My Husband said : "Ive never had pineapple with a roast before... I think I like it" :) Thanks
I followed the suggestions and added Onion...Not something I will make again.
Followed another reviewers advice and added 1/2 cup of teriyaki sauce (I use low sodium). Did not add extra salt, replacing it with ginger. This was delicious
Super easy and was great over rice
Made it a number of times we just love it i like that it takes simple ingredient and is easy to make
This definitely gets 5 stars for easy. I followed other reviewers suggestions and added 1 sliced onion on the bottom of the crock pot and placed my roast on top of it. I used a bone-in 3 1/2 lb pork roast and poured pineapple tidbits and whole cranberry sauce over the top. I added a pinch of garlic powder to the roast along with the salt & pepper. I also added about 1/4c. teriyaki marinade, but it didnt add much flavor and I dont think it needed it. Pork fell off the bone and was very tasty.Great served over rice. Add a vegetable or salad & youve got a great meal.
I found this way too sweet and the cranberries added nothing.
Very good. Followed the recipe exactly.
Winner, winner, pork dinner. What did this take me, maybe 5 minutes to prepare before leaving for work? And the flavor was amazing Yes, even my seven year old devoured this dinner. This is going to be a permanent staple in our recipe box.
I followed the recipe exactly as written. I dont know if its my slow cooker, but the roast turned out tough and extremely dried out. I wont try again.
My dinner guests didnt really care for this. Pork for good but pineapple was tasteless. Not sure I would make again.
Everyone enjoyed this recipe, even the ones who dont fancy pork I served it with rice, a green bean casserole, and salad. Heres what I did: I chopped up 1 large onion and 2 cloves of garlic and made that the bed for the pork to lay on. Then I covered the 3 lb pork roast with thyme, rosemary, pepper, and a pinch each of cinnamon and cayenne pepper on both sides. Next came the cranberry and pineapple sauce mix (mashed). And last I topped it with about 1/2 cup terriyaki sauce. The terriyaki was crucial in balancing the flavors. I baked covered at 350 for 1 1/2 hours and let cool for 15 minutes before slicing.
This is so easy to make and so good.
Sorry but this was just tasteless I had to add alot to make it something and still was not great.
This was too good. Cant wait until tonight for the leftovers. The only change I made was to add /2 cup of teriyaki sauce. My wife was very pleased with me. Thanks for that.
While it was very juicy, it lacked flavor.
This was excellent. My boyfriend and I LOVED it. We agree that its a keeper, both because its easy and it tastes good. I followed some of the previous commenters advice: 1. I used canned whole cranberry sauce, which I first blended in a food processor. 2 I used a 3 1/2 lb pork roast. 3. I sprinkled the meat with thyme, garlic powder, dried onions, onion salt, pepper, soy sauce, and brown sugar. 4. I cooked the roast on low for 2 hours and high for 2 hours, flipping it over once.
This was the best pork roast I have ever had. I used a shoulder boneless pork roast.Only different think I added was some brown sugar. This is a KEEPER
I followed the recipe exactly but found it to be a bit dry. I will try using a can of cranberry sauce in place of the dried cranberries next time.
This turned out really well. We used about 6 pounds of pork shoulder, so let it cook about 8 hours (8 1/2 or 9 would have been better). We also used crushed pineapple instead of chunks (hubby isnt a big fan of warm fruit chunks and meat together). Defatted and thickened the resultant juices with cornstarch slurry. I was disappointed that the cranberry flavor didnt come out more, but for a 3-ingredient dish (plus seasonings) I thought it was really good. We may try a combo of fresh or frozen and dried cranberries next time. The meat was very flavorful (says the teenaged boy) and it was a tossup as to whether we liked the meat better with or without the gravy. We will definitely make this again -- its a great weeknight meal
It was tender but bland.
This is at home in my slow cooker as we speak. I cannot wait to try it. I zested an entire orange and rubbed it all over the roast, and squeezed the juice in with it as well. I also used a can of whole cranberry sauce in stead of dried cranberries. I think its going to be very good I will post pictures of my success later
I made this recipe as written, and it was great. It was very moist; no need to add any extra moisture. I used pineapple chunks in pineapple juice. As long as you follow the recipe and dont drain the pineapples, there should be plenty of juice. The meat was moist and sweet.
One of the best pork roast recipes ever Fall-apart tender, melt-in-your-mouth juicy Thanks This ones a keeper
Very tasty roast Only thing Id have done differently was decrease the amount of cranberries or used real. Otherwise, very good.
This was only my second time using the slow cooker and this recipe was *GREAT*. I couldnt find a roast that was exactly 3 pounds so I used two >2 pound roasts. I also used a can of whole cranberry sauce, and during the last fifteen minutes I added in a couple of tablespoons of brown sugar and a splash of soy sauce. I think those final touches really helped boost the flavor. I attempted to remove the meat 20 minutes before it was done to slice it up a little but it was already so tender it was falling apart. Delicious And I can totally understand why folks use leftovers with some BBQ sauce for sandwiches. My folks went to my sisters for dinner tonight but Im going to make them taste this when they get back :)
ME AND MY WIFE LOVED IT. MADE IT AND WENT TO WORK, CAME HOME AND SMELLED THE ROAST COOKING AND MADE POTATOES AND BREAD. I REALLY LOVED IT
Sliced and placed over orzo,
This was really good I had to use canned cranberry not the whole ones but the sauce or jelly as did not have the dried cranberrys. Other than that I followed the recipie as stated. It did not need anything else It was very good served over rice I will be making this again
A wonderful recipe. I pretty much followed it closely, except that I had no seasoned salt, so I used plain salt, garlic powder, and crushed rosemary. When I got home from work, I sliced the perfectly cooked pork and let it cook a bit more in the sauce (which I had thickened with a bit of cornstarch)while I made rice and a salad. Very, very good.
Awesome recipe. I did add Lawrys Hawaiian marinade instead of the teriyaki sauce.
I dont like pork, but I did like this. Very tender and good flavor. I misread the pineapple label at the store and bought crushed, but that worked just fine.
I didnt have cranberries but this was just as good. I will definitely use them next time to try it out.Even without the berries- this recipe was different and delicious. A real winner with picky kidsThanks
Yes, this is a very easy recipe but the pineapple and cranberries are too great a quanity and 7 hours is way too long. I cooked it for about 5 hours and it was too long. Will not try again on this one--there are too many good ones out there.
This was pretty good but a little bland. I ended up putting it over rice mixed with soy sauce, and that helped kick it up a little. Still, it makes for great leftovers and was very satisfying. Also, I used boneless pork chops because they were on sale, and cooked for about 9 hours... Still, it turned out well. Maybe some brown sugar and hot sauce next time.
