Pineapple Salsa

This sounded horrible to me when I went to a Pampered Chef party when I first arrived in Hawaii. I had no idea how I would become obsessed with it! Yummers!!!

1 fresh pineapple, peeled, cored. You can buy a pineapple/apple corer from Pampered Chef which is expensive although I much much covet it....it is not necessary. You may also used canned pineapple, but if you have the chance to get a fresh one it is worth it.

1 small onion (red, maui, white...your choice)

1/2 cup or so cilantro. (Until recently I loathed cilantro and made this without it....turns out just great)

Garlic to taste...me I like TONS. 1 clove or 2 is standard

1 Cucumber peeled and seeded

1 tomato seeded and cored.

1 jalepeno stem removed

Juice of 1 lime. I like to add some lemon or lime zest as well.

Salt to taste

You can chop all these by hand or place in a food processor etc.

It makes a fun and different appetizer or snack.

Pulled pork sandwiches

I got this idea from my friend, Jennifer. I made them last night and they were oh so yummy. My mom makes these occasionally with a beef roast. Just as good. Take a pork tenderloin and toss it in a crock pot. Let it simmer all day so that it is really tender. You can put BBQ sauce on it all day or add later. I did a little of both. About 1 hour before you serve, take the meat out and shred it with a fork. I drained the juices because it was very watery. Put the meat back in the crock pot and pour BBQ sauce over top. Serve on rolls. Mmmm.... Jennifer insists that you use "Sweet Baby Ray's" BBQ sauce. It was yummy.
