Dish 45 - Grandma Ellie's Sweet & Sour Chicken

Grandma Ellie's Sweet & Sour Pork
Serves: 6
Ingredients:
2 lb pork (I used chicken as Big Spring doesn't like pork and sometimes I don't either!)
1 cup pineapple chunks
2/3 cup sugar
1/2 cup vinegar
2 Tbsp soya sauce
1/2 tsp salt
3 Tbsp flour
1/2 cup warm water
1/2 cup pineapple juice
1 tsp chopped/grated ginger root
Cooked rice, for serving

Method:
  1. Brown meat in large saucepan.
  2. Add pineapple chunks, sugar, vinegar, soya sauce and salt.
  3. Mix together flour and water, getting rid of any lumps. Add to saucepan.
  4. Add pineapple juice and ginger root. Simmer until chicken is cooked through and sauce thickens slightly.
  5. Serve with the cooked rice.
