Sweet & Sour Pork

My grandmother made this for me on Valentine's Day when I was a child. Now I make it for my children on Valentine's. I usually make brown rice or rice noodles and add thinly sliced Bok Choy to up the vegetable intake. I've never had leftovers. —Barbara Hinterberger, Buffalo, New York

    The whole family truly enjoyed this Sweet and Sour Pork recipe. We used our handy pineapple corer and used a single fresh medium pineapple. We used 3 boneless chops. We had a small amount left over, only due to we made many other dishes, the left overs were awesome too! Making it again this week. Thank you for the great easy tasty recipe.
