Instructions
- In a large bowl, mix together 1 cup of BBQ sauce, 1/4 cup of soy sauce, 1/4 cup of brown sugar, 1/4 cup of pineapple juice, 1 tsp of garlic powder, 1 tsp of onion powder, 1/2 tsp of ground ginger, and 1/2 tsp of black pepper.

- While the pork is cooking, prepare the pineapple salsa. In a medium bowl, combine 2 cups of diced pineapple, 1/2 finely chopped red onion, 1 seeded and finely chopped jalapeno, 1/4 cup of chopped cilantro, and the juice of 1 lime. Season with salt to taste and mix well.
- Once the pork is done, let it rest for a few minutes before serving. Serve the grilled or roasted pork with the pineapple salsa on the side. Enjoy your Hawaiian BBQ Pork with Pineapple Salsa!
