Good and Garlicky Sweet and Sour Pork

Great flavor and very easy. I had thinly sliced pork sirloin and did not need to simmer it in the juice for more than a minute. I used rice wine vinegar and ginger root, and a 14 ounce can of pineapple was plenty. I'll use even more garlic next time, and may throw in a couple tablespoons of ketchup. I also plan to add broccoli and use a red bell pepper for more color.

Absolutely SPECTACULAR!!! Wow was this amazing!!! I used a pork tenderloin and, in my opinion, it was the perfect cut of meat! I followed this recipe closely and increased the garlic by quite a bit. Didn't taste the garlic in it at all. I added a can of water chestnuts as well. Even my 4 and 6 year old thought this was super yummy. The pork was perfectly tender and the pineapple juice really permeated the meat. Served this over brown rice. HEAVEN!!!

What a great recipe to find while looking for something to go with a bowl of leftover fried rice! I cut up two very thick boneless pork chops I had on hand and used 1/2 ea. large red and green peppers. I put in the garlic halfway through the pork browning step, since I was worried I'd burn it like I usually do! I used two carrots sliced thinly diagonally for extra taste and color, but I put them in a few minutes before the other veggies so they would all be the same texture at end of cooking time. I also added a dash of cayenne pepper to taste. A great change from the syrupy, too-sweet sauces in most sweet 'n sour recipes. Thanks for a recipe I'll make often -- next time with fresh or leftover chicken!

This was delicious! We quadrupled the recipe and filled the rice cooker with basmati. One thing we found is that we needed to add extra spice when multiplying it so much... Thanks for a delicious and easy recipe!

Great Sweet and Sour. I did add water chestnuts and bean sprouts but made as written using fresh ginger root in the sauce.

Fantastic recipe thanks! Loved the fact that it wasn't deep fried, and even though we just used the meat and vegie quantities we had in the fridge, it still turned out extremely yummy.

I really loved this dish. Not only was it one of the easiest things to prepare, but it tasted awesome! I'm not a pork girl, so I used chicken instead and it turned out great! I'm making this for the rest of my life. My half-life, unborn & unfertilized egg children are going to pass it on to their kids. Thank you, Bratty!

I really like the flavor of this sauce - not too sweet but not too sour either. By not deep frying the pork, it's a much healthier dish also, which I really like. I used fresh pineapple instead of canned (and used water in place of the reserved pineapple juice) and it was really delicious. This recipe is definitely a keeper!

This recipe is very reminiscent of the Sweet and Sour Pork recipe I used steadily as a young bride many years ago, that was in the Betty Crocker Cookbook. The flavor and sauce is identical. I used a red bell pepper as that was all I had on hand. Thanks for the stroll down memory lane, bratty! : )

I made this tonight for dinner. Although I had to use chicken instead of pork because my husband doesn't eat pork, I thought it was very good. I was looking for a good, healthy recipe and was very pleased with this. I also added a small yellow bell pepper, and I think next time I may also add some red pepper and maybe water chestnuts. It isn't like the typical sweet and sour that you get at buffets and such, but actually I much prefer this style. Thank you for a very nice recipe, I'm sure I'll be making this again!

I thought this was very good! I made it exactly as written, and the sauce turned out nice and thick. I've always been a bit afraid to mix fruit in with my meat, but I'm happy to report that the complimenting flavors of this dish was a huge stepping stone to getting over that! Thanks so much for posting your recipe, it is a real winner :)

Um, I can't believe I am reading this correctly...255 calories for such a tasty and satifying dish?!!! I loved this. I did add 2 celery stalks and some quartered mushrooms to use them up and I served over basmati rice. Next time I will use a red pepper for additional color contrast but really loved this.

My DD made this for supper and I could not smell or taste the garlic yet she said she used even a bit more than the 2 tbsp garlic called for in the recipe otherwise it was a great supper.

Yummy! This was a fantastic recipe that I would recommend to anyone. Much more adult than the red sticky sweet and sour sauce I usually get at restaurants. Thank you for sharing!

What a treat! It was just as described. I, too, had to use rice wine vinegar and served it over plain rice. I used some left-over pork tenderloin, added a little cayenne while browning it in the garlic. This goes on our favorite list. Thanks again.
