After my sister moved away to the university, I used to visit her on weekends. She often made this wonderful and tangy pork dish. Now, every time I make it for my family, it reminds me of those special visits. Everyone who tries it loves it. -Cherry Williams, St. Albert, Alberta

We all enjoyed this meal, but I had to double the recipe to get enough for my large family! It was a bit tangy, so I may use less vinegar next time! We like it a little more sweet and a bit less sour! :)

Liked that I had all the ingredients on hand for this recipe but would rate the flavour as average. Not enough bite to it.

I made this with left over pork - so I just added it towards the end. Big hit with the kids, too!
