Directions
Season pork with salt, ginger and cloves. Cook pork in oil in large non-stick skillet over high heat. Add peppers, sugar and garlic; cook 1 to 2 minutes longer. Remove pork mixture; set aside.
Cook onion in butter until soft. Add rice and stir 2 to 3 minutes. Add rum; stir until absorbed. Decrease heat to medium high; stir in 1 cup broth. Cook, uncovered, stirring frequently, until broth is absorbed. Continue stirring and adding remaining 1 cup broth and water, allowing each cup to be absorbed before adding another, until rice is tender and mixture has a creamy consistency. It will take approximately 25 to 30 minutes.
Stir in pineapple and reserved pork mixture; serve immediately.
