Sweet and Sour Pork


This recipe was on cooks.com and was kind of poorly arranged.  However, it made some of the BEST sweet and sour pork ever!  I can't leave any recipe alone, and there were some things we didn't have in our kitchen so I've posted this as I cooked it.  The time investment wasn't too high and it was absolutely worth it in the end!
