This was simple to make yet very tasty. I will definately make it again. I added a couple gloves of garlic to the oil to brown the pork and tossed in a handful of walnuts with the pineapple. I served it over brown rice. Hubby raved over it.

I just adore Sweet and Sour Pork and this would have to be the best recipe I have tried. I have made it several times now and it is always delicious. I also find that it is a very easy recipe to whip up after work. Not a lot to do once it is underway. I originally thought that the cooking time was a bit long, however it certainly ensures that the meat is tender. Delicous! Thank you Carol :) for posting a 'true gem'.

This is the dish of my youth. Used cheap ol' pork too. The perfect amount of vinegar (cider of course) etc. I have to admit it seems sweet now days though. I really enjoyed it .Thanks

This was good, but it seemed to be missing something. It was quick to fix, and that is always a plus! Thanks for sharing.
