SWEET & SOUR PORK RECIPE

There are three reasons to try this great recipe. First, this recipe is made in the slow cooker, so it’s super easy. Secondly, this recipe is very cheap to make and thirdly, it gets rave reviews whenever I make it. What more can you ask for? Oh yes, I forgot…
the finished meal freezes VERY well if you have leftovers.
You should know that I am not a big sweet and sour fan, but I love this recipe. It is extremely moist and just the right amount of sweet to sour ratio.
Walmart sells a small vacuum packed 2 pound pork roast that is perfect for this recipe. The package says “pork loin rib eye pork roast” and even here in Alaska, it’s only $4.50!!

2-3 Pound lean pork roast
1 C. granulated sugar (seems like a lot, but it mellows out)
1/2 C. white vinegar
4 Tbsp . soy sauce
4 Tbsp. ketchup
20 Oz. can crushed pineapple (drained)

Brown the pork roast on all sides and put it in your slow cooker. Mix everything else and bring it to a boil, then pour it over the meat.

Cook on low for 4-6 hours or until very tender (spoon the sauce over the meat every once in a while).

That’s it…super easy!! At the very end of the cooking time, I thickened the sauce a little with a slurry of cornstarch and water (right in the crockpot). To serve, slice the meat and spoon a little of the sauce over it; it’s great with rice.

Now this last suggestion is not for everyone, but my picky-picky hubby absolutely loves it. On day two, I pull this pork apart and mix it with a little of the sauce (make sure you include some pineapple out of the sauce). While its still cold, I roll it into a large burrito size tortilla (folding in all the ends) and then I brown the whole sandwich in a little butter until its piping hot. Hubby is extremely UNdemostrative when it comes to food, but he ooohhh’d and ahhhhhh’d about this sandwich until the last bite.

NOTE: Sorry about these photographs. This is one of those recipes that, no matter how hard to try to get a good photo, it just doesn’t work. You’ll just have to trust me that it is delicious.
