    Sweet & Sour Pork

    Published: Jan 29, 2021 by Heidi Fowler. This post may contain affiliate links 23 Comments

    Happy Monday, everyone!  I had my first gluten-free oops this week.  Here's what I learned:  If you are planning to bake bread--and double the recipe--check to make sure that you have all the ingredients first!  Crazy substitutions do not always yield good results.  The only thing worse than a failed loaf of bread is two failed loaves of bread!  I ran out of tapioca starch and substituted corn starch in half the recipe.  Either that was the fail, or I didn't add enough salt.  Either way, the result was . . . let's just say, less than yummy.  I'll be better prepared next time.

    Here's a recipe that did not fail.  The original recipe for this Sweet & Tangy Slow Cooker Pork comes from Six Sister's Stuff.

    Sweet and Sour Pork--comfort food that's easily gluten free!

    Since Six Sisters created the recipe, and I didn't make enough changes to call it my own, I'll let you get it straight from them.  I will share my notes, though.

    If you buy the correct brands, this recipe is easily gluten free--no substitutions, and no worries.  Nice.  This recipe calls for ketchup, brown sugar, and honey.  Although I'm sure including the full amounts would make the recipe really yummy, I decided to cut the sugar by ⅓.  The recipe still tasted very, very sweet.  In my opinion, you could cut out even more sugar and not miss it.  I also noticed that the recipe, which calls for 6-8 thinly-sliced pork chops, makes a ton of sauce.  If you are feeding a large family (or just want leftovers), you could easily add more and have plenty of sauce.

    I will definitely make this again!

    Heidi
