SWEET AND SOUR PORK for the SLOW COOKER

SWEET AND SOUR PORK for the SLOW COOKER

Serves 6

Not quite 3 Syns per serving

900g extra lean cubed pork
400g tin of pineapple chunks in juice (reserve the juice) - 10 Syns
1 onion, chopped
1 green pepper, deseeded and chopped
2 carrots, cut into batons
1 tbsp. brown sugar - 3 Syns
2 tbsp. lime juice
1 tbsp. light soy sauce
1 tbsp. cornflour - 3.5 Syns

If you like, brown the pork in a frying pan with a little Frylight. I never bother with the browning and it doesn't seem to make any difference. Personal opinion!!
Put everything into the slow cooker, including the pineapple juice but, not the pineapple chunks.
Season with about half a teaspoon of salt and add 50ml of boiling water.
Cook on Low for 6 hours.
Check the pork is tender and, if not, cook for a further hour, adding the pineapple chunks for the final 30 minutes of cooking.
If the mixture is too liquidy, blend the cornflour into a thick paste with a small amount of cold water and pour into the slow cooker, stirring continuously. Leave to cook for a further 10 minutes.
Serve with boiled rice
