How To Make Pork Sweet and Sour

You won’t believe how easy it is to prepare this slow cooker sweet and sour pork with pineapple.

This tasty pork dinner requires only a few easy steps…

1. First, you’ll place your cubed pork and pineapple juice in a gallon freezer bag to marinate. This will prepare your sweet and tender pork tenderloin for the slow cooker.

2. Then you’ll cook your pork in the crockpot as specified.

3. When done, you’ll need to drain and discard the juices from the crockpot. This will ensure a thicker more flavorful sauce.

4. Add your pineapple pieces to the slow cooker.

5. Then pour the sauce over your pork and pineapple, before placing the lid back on the crockpot.

6. Complete cooking as directed. Then… serve and enjoy! Trust me, Pork Dinner Recipes don’t get much simpler or tastier than this!
