SWEET & SOUR PORK IN CROCK POT

2-3 pound lean pork roast

1 cup sugar ( seems like a lot, but it mellows out)

1/2 cup white vinegar

4 Tbsp soy sauce

4 Tbsp ketchup ( I thought I had some but didn't so used BBQ sauce instead and it was good)

20 ounce can of crushed pineapple ----drain juice before using in mixture.

Spray skillet with Pam.

Brown roast in skillet around all sides by turning in skillet. (basically any fat around the sides will brown and crisp).

place pork roast in crock pot.

use skillet to put all the other ingredients in and mix together. Bring to a boil and then pour over the pork roast in crock pot.

Cook on low 4 hours.

( the pork roast I had was almost 5 lbs. I used the same ingredients but cooked on low 5 hours to be sure it was done. It was done perfectly)

When done slice the roast on plate and use the juice mixture to pour over it. If you want the juice to be thicker like gravy then mix a little cornstarch with a little water and then mix that in with the juice while it's hot.

After it was done i sliced it into separate portions and put it back in crock pot to absorb juices while fixing the rest of food.

........it was really good. I made rice and zucchini with it.

The recipe also says that the next day they took the pork roast that was left over and pulled it apart into shredded pork and put in tortilla with some of the pineapple sauce mixture and ate it that way..
