Lorraine Menard’s fabulous sweet-sour sauce does her proud whenever she serves these pork chops at home in Omaha, Nebraska. It’s an easy recipe to increase for a crowd, she says, and it never disappoints.

I increased the recipe by 2.5 and used a 20 oz can pineapple, used celery in place of the green peppers (my family doesn't like them) and regular soy sauce and they came out delicious. I did have to allow a little extra cooking time for them to get tender. Wondering how they'd do cooked in the slow cooker?
