Smoked Pineapple Salsa
Smoked Pineapple Salsa
I came up with the idea of smoking a pineapple salsa to go with pulled pork tacos for a birthday party. It was a hit. While still maintaining its sweetness to cut through the heaviness of the pork, the salsa had a great smokey flavor from the cherry and peach wood. This salsa is good for 5 days in the refrigerator. Not only does this pair great with pork, but chicken, fish, and shrimp as well.
