Interesting, thanks for posting. I would have taken the time to remove the Eyes. A Tomato Corer, small Mellon Baller or a Paring Knife makes quick work of it and the fruit would be edible. I am thinking Boneless Ham would work better, an age old combination, and the cooking would be shorter, IT of 140 and rest, so less time for the Pineapple Enzymes to make the meat mushy. Some Char Siu Pork Loin or Tenderlion, Pre-Smoked to 110-120, then stuff the pineapple and finish to 140, would accomplish the same. Zero Safety issues if handled with care...JJ
