Ingredients:

1 large pizza crust, approximately 12-inch

1/3 cup pineapple BBQ sauce

1 cup pulled pork

3/4 cup fresh pineapple chunks

6 oz. bacon, cooked until crisp and then crumbled

1 jalapeño, very thinly-sliced

1-1/2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese

1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro

Pineapple BBQ Sauce:

1 cup ketchup

1/4 cup brown sugar

1/4 cup honey

3 Tbsp. Worcestershire sauce

2 Tbsp. apple cider vinegar

1/2 cup pineapple juice

1 cup pineapple diced small

1 tsp. salt

1/2 tsp. ground black pepper

1 tsp. garlic powder

1/2 tsp. smoked paprika

1/4 tsp. cayenne powder

Detailed Steps:

Pineapple BBQ:

Finely chop up 1 cup of fresh pineapple. If using canned chunks, diced them smaller.

In a medium sized pot or saucepan over medium heat, combine the ketchup, brown sugar, honey, Worcestershire sauce, and apple cider vinegar. Stir to combine.

Then, add in the pineapple juice, pineapple chunks, and spices and whisk to combine.

Reduce the heat to low and stir occasionally. Let the sauce reduce down so the pineapple becomes soft and breaks down and the sauce darkens in color and thickens, about 15 minutes.

Remove from the heat and let cool to room temperature. Store in a glass jar or airtight container for up to 7 days.

Pizza:

Position rack in center of oven and preheat to 500°F. Spread Homemade Pineapple BBQ Sauce on pizza crust. Evenly top with Slow Cooker Pineapple Pulled Pork, fresh pineapple chunks, crumbled bacon, sliced jalapeño, and shredded mozzarella.

Bake for 8 to 12 minutes or until cheese is melted and golden brown spots are starting to appear on the cheese and crust.

Carefully remove from the oven and allow to cool for a few minutes. Sprinkle with fresh chopped cilantro, slice, and serve.
