IT was alright. It tasted really good in the bites with pineapple chunks becauseit gave it flavor. otherwise the sauce itself was kind of bland.. not sure what it needed to spice it up. surely not more paprika, though!!

I made this exactly as the directions stated and it was good but didn't taste much like sweet n sour. I think next time I need to make some adjustments. Not sure why I wasted the time to brown the pork. It still tasted like boiled meat.
