Here are a couple of recipes that we have tried over the last couple of weeks that were oh so good. The Sweet and Sour Pork was originally posted about a month ago at Elizabeth's Clothesline but her blog is no longer there (if you are out there somewhere new please let me know so I can visit). It was too delicious to let fade into Internet ether. If you are still out there Elizabeth- thank you for originally posting it. Sweet and Sour Pork 3-4 pound country style ribs1/2 c thinly sliced onions 1/2 c sliced bell peppers 1 ( 20 oz) can pineapple tidbits undrained 2 cans ( 8 oz) each tomato sauce 1/2 c packed brown sugar 1/4 c cinder vinegar 1/4 c tomato paste 2 tbs worcestershire sauce 1 clove of garlic salt and pepper to taste
Place ribs in an ungreased 5 qt slow cooker. In a large bowl combine the remaining ingredients. Pour over ribs. Cover and cook on low for 8-10 hours. Thicken the sauce if desired. My Notes: I actually used a pork roast because there were some marked down packages at the store making it cheaper than the country style ribs the recipe calls for. I cubed it up and fried the meat in a little oil just long enough to brown the outside then added the veggies for just a moment more then put them in the crockpot along with the pineapple (seperated from its juice. I combined the remaining ingredients (including the juice from the pineapple )and used that to deglaze the frypan to make sure all the good crispies made it into the crockpot. Teriyaki Pork Roast 3 lb Pork Loin Roast, cut to fit in crockpot3/4 cup unsweetened apple juice 2 Tbsp. sugar 2 Tbsp soy sauce 1 Tbsp vinegar 1 tsp. ground ginger 1/4 tsp. garlic powder 1/8 tsp. pepper 2 1/2 Tbsp. cornstarch 3 Tbsp. cold water Place roast in crockpot. Combine all other ingredients except cornstarch and water and pour over roast, turning to make sure entire roast is coated. Cook on low 7-8 hours. Remove roast and keep warm. Combine water and cornstarch in saucepan stirring until smooth. Add juices from crockpot and bring to boil. Cook, stirring, until thickened, about 2 minutes . Serve with roast.
