In reply to B.

I add six half slices of thick cut bacon at marinade time & grill along with the loin.

Made it once and just put the pork and pineapple on skewers on grill and it came out great. Trying it again this weekend on vertical spit in green egg and serving on crispy tostones as appetizer for neighborhood party. Its a little spicy but with pineapple salsa I figure we will be okay.

Have made this twice. And both times it has been a hit. The first time I couldnt find the anchiote paste and I didn’t notice a big difference with or without it. For me it took longer than 20 min in oven. Perhaps mine isn’t hot enough. Recommend!

less chipotle peppers is the way to go. if you have the patience and kitchen gloves, you can try to remove the membranes and seeds from the chipotle peppers, but it’s pretty messy and the peppers are rarely intact. more pineapple juice will help too!

Amazing but a bit spicy for my family. what would you recommend to maintain the flavor without the spice? Less Chipotle peppers and water or more pineapple juice in the marinade? I feel like if it was thinner it keep the flavor with the heat being in suck a thick paste

In reply to Erin.

Agreed to chop up the pork before marinating!

I was just thinking about grilling instead. I think it will add to the flavor.
