Ingredients

4 stalks celery

1 cup unsweetened pineapple juice

1/4 cup cooking oil

3/4 tsp ground cinnamon

3/4 tsp salt

1/4 tsp ground nutmeg

dash ground allspice

1- 1/2 lbs boneless pork loin, cut into 1-inch cubes

3 cooking apples, cored, quartered and cut in half crosswise

Cut celery into 1-inch pieces. In a small saucepan cook, covered, in a small amount of boiling water for 10 minutes, drain and refrigerate.

For marinade, in a small saucepan combine pineapple juice, oil, cinnamon, salt, nutmeg, and allspice; cook over medium heat for 10 minutes; stirring occasionally. Cool.

Place pork in a shallow dish; pour marinade over pork. Cover and marinate in the refrigerator for several hours or overnight, stirring occasionally.
