RIVER ROAD COOKBOOK SWEET AND SOUR PORK
This is a wonderful--not sticky sweet!--sweet and sour pork that I grew up with. Simple and just delicious. It spoiled me for all other versions. I find most too sweet and way too full of unnecessary and distracting vegetables.

- Bring to a boil.
- Add the sliced peppers and boil one minute.
- Mix the 2 tablespoons cornstarch and 1/2 cup water together.
- Stir the cornstarch/water mixture into the vinegar mixture.
- Simmer about two minues, stirring constantly, until thickened and translucent.
- Add the drained pineapple tidbits and the pork.
- Stir until heated through.
