Pork-Stuffed Pineapples

This Stuffed Pineapple Recipe is an Unconventional Barbecue Dish

A stuffed pineapple is not a new innovation, but Josh Bush of LaPorte, Texas takes this age-old cooking initiative to meatier heights.

Dubbed 'The Swineapple,' this meaty confection features a hollowed-out pineapple wrapped in bacon and stuffed with country-style boneless wings. Slow cooked over mesquite, this stuffed pineapple was first spotted on Bush's Facebook page. After gaining mass attention, Bush uploaded the recipe along with a picture of the ingredients. To make your own Swineapple, a lot of prep time as well as cook time is needed. It is also required that you be skilled in using a smoker.

The Swineapple may be a very distinct dish but it has curated a lot of attention despite its excessive appeal.
