Pork and Pear Stir-fry image

I've served this full-flavored stir-fry for years, always to rave reviews. Tender pork and ripe pears make a sweet combination, and a spicy sauce adds plenty of zip. This dish is a must for help-yourself luncheons or fellowship dinners. -Betty Phillips, French Creek, West Virginia

This stir-fry was just okay. I thought the pork was a little dry and the pears were too sweet. I also found that the sauce was a bit too thick.
