Deeee-lish. Okay, I was in a hurry and took partial advice from other readers. Used 2 bone-in chicken breast, 4 bone-in chicken thighs. Removed skin. Dumped in a dutch oven/pot: The chicken, one can of pineapples with juice, 2 cans of dice tomatoes, 1 sm. green peppar (diced), 1 onion (diced), doubled the brown sugar, doubled the vinegar, salt and bring it to boil. Simmer for 45 minutes and YUM. My hubby added hot peppar flakes to his to heat it up. Tasted like a gourmet sweet and sour. We served it over rice. Thank you Amy!

Just finished the dishes on this and the Wife is off to the pizza take out for supper! If you like your pork mushy, go for it! No flavor at all! Lots of prep work for a whole lot of, well, something lacking. Lacking sweet, lacking salty, lacking a lot! Waste of time, food & electricity!!

We loved this but agree it needs more sauce and some veggies. It was a nice blend of bbq which I like and sweet & sour which my husband likes.

This is a "must-make" recipe. So easy to make, and my crockpot had it perfectly tender and juicy in just 3-hours (it smelled so good I couldn't wait until the 4th hour and had to taste -- it was done, and amazing!) For the pork, I used a package of thin pork cutlets (less than $2.00 for 5 cutlets), and sliced those thinly. I doubled the sauce as others had recommended because my family always wants extra sauce to spoon over rice. I omitted mushrooms to accommodate a family member preference, and added half a can of pineapple chunks, drained, as another reviewer had suggested. After 3 hours, the pork is fork-tender, the sauce is a perfect blend of sweet and tangy and a wonderful consistency, and my prep time was only about 15 minutes. This recipe is definitely a keeper! For those who try and the meat comes out dry, try doubling the sauce ingredients, and be sure to fry the pork strips first in hot oil on fairly high heat, until the pink is gone. This will seal in your juices.

awsome base recipe...add to custom flavor. I added 2 teaspoons curry, 2 cloves garlic, 2 teaspoons hot chili sauce for just a lil kick along with the sweetness of 8 oz dice pinapple, brocalli, snap peas and carrots. yum-yum

I made this for my boyfriend one night because I wasn't going to be home until late. He said it was awesome! I was hoping to try the leftovers but they were gone before I could! I used boneless ribs, cut into chunks, browned with a mix of veggie and sesame oils. I left out the mushrooms, so it was pretty much just pork and onions. According to my man it was great, so, five stars! Thanks for a great recipe! Update; made this again for some friends and it turned out well. The only change I made was to use fresh mushrooms instead of canned; I thought the dish was a bit salty, but otherwise the flavor was great.

Kinda blah. I made this recipe the way it was written just to try it as is but I ended up adding pepper flakes to it. That helped a little. I saw the part about the pineapple but did not know how that would go over. I used the remaining meat the next day mixed with bbq sauce and that was ok. I don't think I will be making this one again.

It was ok. I used pork tenderloin. For some reason the pork remained dry. The sauce was too watery as others have said. It smelled great and had a good flavor, but I probably won't make it again.

with some alterations this has become a dinnertime favorite! So 4 stars for giving us a great recipe to work with. My changes: I brown the pork in a non-stick skillet, sprinkling with salt and pepper, then place in bottom of crock pot. Then in same the skillet used to brown the pork I place the onion (add a tiny bit of olive oil if needed) and 1 green bell pepper thinly sliced and saute for about a minute or two. Then I add these to the crock pot making sure to scrape out all the brown bits left over from pork and sauting (somtimes I add in a tablespoon of water to help loosen it up). Then I add in pineapple, leave out the mushrooms for us, make the sauce, pour it over everything and cook as normal. With these changes it's a hit for us!

I added strips of raw cabbage - I'm sure that bagged coleslaw mix would work just as well. As well, when browning the pork, I put in about 3 tbsp. of balsamic vinegar. It gave it a little sweetness and my whole family loved it.

My family and I really enjoyed this simple through together recipe. It is nothing elaborate but that is what makes it so fun, one can make it so. For spicy add thai chilis, for hawiian add pineapple and grn. pepper, for italian add herbs i.e. rosemary/oregano/basil. It can be served atop any starch to fit ones 'through together' idea. I actually have made this both times ontop of the stove at a heat of medium low (simmer, covered, with the occasional stirring) in just a matter of 2 hrs and the meat just falls apart in your mouth. So even if one doesn't get it going before they start their day tender meat can still be achieved in just a few hours with not much other work. :o) thank you

I thought this dish had potential but seemed a little watered-down and bland. I may give it another shot but I think I will cut the amount of mushrooms and add pineapple just before serving. It's lacking something but I can't put my finger on what. I'm hoping the pineapple will help.

Good and easy when made just as written. I've also cooked this in a dutch oven on my stovetop. Since the dutch oven has a tight-fitting lid, less of the liquid evaporates and you have a saucier meal.

I have fixed this dish twice. The first time I drained the mushrooms and the dish came out dry. The second time I did not drain the can and it added just enough liquid to it. The dish has a great flavor and will more than likely fix it again.
