SWEET AND SOUR PORK SKILLET

This savory sweet and sour pork made in a skillet is super easy to prepare.  Serve it over rice and you have a meal your entire family will enjoy.

1 1/2 to 2 lbs. boneless pork, cut in chunks (can use boneless pork chops, tenderloin, ribs, or roast)
3 tablespoons oil (I use Canola)
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1 medium onion, cut in rings
1 medium green pepper, cut in rings
1 (20 ounce) can pineapple chunks in juice
1/2 cup water
2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
2 tablespoons soy sauce
1/2 cup brown sugar
2 tablespoons water
2 tablespoons cornstarch                    
                                                                               
Saute’ pork, onions and green pepper in oil until pork is browned and onion and peppers are tender.  Drain pineapple and reserve the juice.  In a bowl mix juice from pineapple, 1/2 cup water, vinegar, soy sauce, brown sugar, salt and pepper.  Pour over pork, onion and peppers in skillet.  Cover and simmer about 20 minutes until meat is tender.  In the same bowl mix cornstarch and 2 tablespoons water and beat with whisk until smooth.  Add to pork in skillet.  Cook on low, stirring constantly until mixture thickens.  Add pineapple chunks and simmer about 5 minutes longer.  Serve over rice.  Makes 6 to 8 servings.  Enjoy!

  1. That looks delicious! I may use chicken instead of pork (we don’t eat much pork). It’s a nice change from all the turkey related recipes out there now.

  2. I love pork, this is a delicious looking meal, thanks. Have a nice weekend.

  3. Yummy! Looks delicious! Hope you have a wonderful Thanksgiving!

  4. Judy, I made this recipe tonight for supper, and oh my……so delicious!!! I have a question though. I noticed that in the ingredient listing it calls for 1/4 cup water and in the directions it calls for 1/2 cup water. I made it with 1/4 cup, and my husband said it needed more sauce, and I agree, so I figure the 1/2 cup is correct? I was going to post the recipe on my blog, but since it is your recipe, I wanted to make sure everything was true to how you make it. Thanks again for another YUMMY recipe!
