Sweet & Sour Pork with Pineapple

Jump to Recipe·Print Recipe

Our friends at All-Clad in conjunction with the Today Food Club sent us a brand new, nifty slow cooker.  This is one is serious.  A shiny stainless steel, 7 quart beauty that was begging to be broken in.  For its maiden voyage, I created a Sweet & Sour Pork recipe that was nearly perfect straight out of the gate, but after three tests, I can confirm that this recipe will be a hit on your dinner table.  Granted, Blaise wouldn’t eat it in this video, but he finally took a bite in the outtakes and happily gobbled down a few more bites as I put away the cameras.

Sweet & Sour Pork with Pineapple

Sweet & Sour Pork

This recipe has a good number of possible substitutions, depending on what you keep on hand in your own pantry.  Some include:

  • Chicken for pork
  • Canned pineapple (drained) instead of fresh
  • Ketchup for tomato paste (though reduce the brown sugar to 1/4 in that case)
  • 1/2 tsp ground ginger for the 1 Tbs ginger paste
  • White vinegar for rice wine vinegar

As always, any questions about this recipe or others, give me a holler in the comments and I’ll get right back to you!
