Barbecue Roast Pork With Fruity Sweet and Sour Sauce image

This dish is so easy to make.The fruity sauce would go well with chicken or fish too. I made the pork and coated cooked baby potatoes in the juices, lovely. I've made this sauce twice now and everyone loves it. I'm going to try it with bananas too, I've made it with and without the apple and it's just as good.

Choose ripe, fresh fruit: The quality of your fruit will greatly impact the flavor of your sauce. Choose ripe, fresh fruit that is free of blemishes and bruises.
Use a variety of fruits: Don't be afraid to mix and match different fruits to create your own unique sauce. Some good combinations include pineapple, mango, papaya, and strawberries; peaches, blueberries, and raspberries; or apples, pears, and cranberries.
Adjust the sweetness and sourness to your liking: The amount of sugar and vinegar you add to your sauce is a matter of personal preference. Start with a small amount and then adjust to taste.
