Sweet and Sour Pork Chops recipe

If you can’t escape to the islands, why not bring the islands to your table? Pineapples and pork chops are cooked together to create a fruity stewed dish that will make you feel like the vacation has come to you.

Ingredients:

½ cup sugar
1/3 cup white vinegar
6 tablespoons canned pineapple juice
1 tablespoon corn starch
2 teaspoons soy sauce
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
8 lean boneless pork chops
Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Directions:

In a small saucepan, combine the sugar, vinegar, pineapple juice, corn starch, and soy sauce. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce to a simmer and cook until clear and thickened, 2 minutes.
Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add pork chops, season with salt and pepper, and brown on both sides, 4 to 5 minutes total. Pour sauce over chops, cover, and cook over low heat for 50 minutes, turning frequently.

Very good - wish I would have doubled the sauce. Family loves it - will try it again and using chicken.

Loved it! My boyfriend and I got in to such a rut making the samethings over and over but this was a great and very easy thing to make and like everyone else said you can spice it up as well and spice it down!

This is a simple and very tasty meal. Have it egg noodles and a few chunks of pineapple.

Easy to make & tasty. Chops stayed tender and my family liked the pineapple on the side.

Was really good!! I am allergic to pineapples so I substituted orange juice.

Sweet and Sour Pork Chops Review by Katy on January 9th, 2012:

It was super easy and really tasty! I got so sidetracked by "turning frequently" that I didn't let the sauce soak in. Only flip 3-5 times
