Sweet and Sour Pork Chops

Sorry for the extended sabbatical!  What with traveling to Med School interviews, babysitting my hubby's siblings, and... oh yeah, having a 5 month old who hates sleeping, it's been difficult to find time to update my blog. And what precious free time I have had, I have spent.... well... just sitting. Sitting... what a luxury....

So here's a sweet recipe for you:

Ingredients List:

½ cup sugar
1/3 cup white vinegar
6 tablespoons canned pineapple juice
1 tablespoon corn starch
2 teaspoons soy sauce
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
8 lean boneless pork chops
Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Directions:

1. In a small saucepan, combine the sugar, vinegar, pineapple juice, corn starch, and soy sauce. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce to a simmer and cook until clear and thickened, 2 minutes.

2. Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add pork chops, season with salt and pepper, and brown on both sides, 4 to 5 minutes total. Pour sauce over chops, cover, and cook over low heat for 50 minutes, turning frequently.
