it was ok my family liked it but my son was surprised that there were pinneapple in it said they tasted like potatoes, next time I think I will add the pinneapple themselves when I thicken the sauce.

I did not think that there was enough "sour". Next time I will use 1/3 cup vinegar. A good easy meal to prepare

I have made this twice & love it! So does my family. I double the sauce except for the pineapple & i add cherry juice & serve over rice...so good!

Very easy and delicious. I used a cheap picnic cut of pork and it was very tender. The only thing I would do different is to thicken the sauce on the stove before serving... it didn't thicken at all in the crockpot. My house smelled like a chinese restaurant! (Next time I'm going to double it and use the leftovers to make rice bowls to eat through the week!)
