The only thing I had a little problem with was the oz. configurations. I added 2 cans of chopped apricots to the mixture (I had to scale the recipe to 10) that I chopped and used that juice along with a cup of orange juice instead of water. It was used over pork during and after cooking time. My entire family and guest enjoyed it. I was also asked for the recipe.

I used this recipe to make sweet and sour pork. Because the type of vinegar was not specified I used rice wine vinegar which was not sour enough, so next time will use a cider vinegar instead. You might want to edit your recipe to specify which type of vinegar you use in this. I did use the pineapple, but processed it first so as not to have too chunky of a sauce-this worked out fine. Thank you for sharing your recipe.
