I found this recipe one day while I was checking out a new blog. It is very familiar to my sweet and sour pork recipe so I had a good feeling that Alan would like it. He loves pineapple so I knew I couldn’t go wrong. This is a great weeknight meal, quick and easy to make and something a little different to steer away from the mundane.
I plan on adding this to our meal rotation but next time I’ll add a little more pineapple, juice and I’ll thicken the sauce a little bit more with the cornstarch slurry.
