This meat was tender, but the taste was rather different. You did not specify if the cabbage should be cooked, so I served it on raw cabbage, which really did not taste that good with the pork. If I make this again I will slightly cook the cabbage and reduce the cider vinegar. I've had better pork recipes but this was alright.

I made this tonight and everyone really enjoyed it! I didn't do anything different. My fiance doesn't like pineapple and he even liked it (without the chunks). I will definitely make this again!

This tasted really good served over rice. The taste was a little similar to sweet and sour pork you would get at a Chinese restaurant. I decided to not use cabbage, as I didn't think my family would like that. All three of my kids ate it, so that says something, because they are usually very picky. I will probably make it again.
