Note: My family doesn’t like peppers except me, hence the lack of but if you prefer more veggies then bell peppers work very well. Also when it comes to the pineapple, you don’t have to put all of it, change it to your own liking and taste. If you think it’s too sweet then omit the sugar or the rest of the juice, if it’s too tart then you just add more sweetness.

  2. This dish seems to have just arrived from the east. Performed very well. Beautiful colors. And I imagine delicious!

  3. I need to make these for sure. I’m pretty sure I’d love them. I tend to love sweet and sour chicken, so I can almost bet I’d gobble these up.

  8. I’ve never made Sweet and Sour Pineapple Pork before, but I really like how you add allspice – these sound really good!

  11. That looks delish!! I can’t wait to try it. Have you tried different variations like a keto version? I am just getting into keto.

    1. Just started keto too but doing the keto on steroids for dr.Berg . No dairy, only fatty meats and 67-75gms fat per day plus its zero carbs not counting the veggies. I made this for my family but had the pork on its own.

  17. I am not a big fan of cooking and neither am I good at it. But then my doctor said that I should start cooking myself and should avoid outside food. This recipe looks like a lot of fun I am going to give it a shot

  25. The sauce of this recipe sounds so delicious. I do like sweet and sour together. I would probably leave out the sugar though, I think the pineapple juice is sweet enough.

  30. That looks delicious I can finish the entire plate in one siting. Love sweet sour pork meat balls.

  32. Might have to try these with gluten free breadcrumbs. I adore chinese food but hate getting takeout!

  33. I don’t like a meat with something sweet but your meal looks really nice and I bet it’s delicious

  34. This looks so good! I have never had sweet and sour pork meatballs instead of chicken before. I think it’ll be a delicious twist. I can’t wait to try this out, thanks for sharing!

  36. These look great! The long list of ingredients makes a novice SAHD like me a little intimidated, but I love a challenge! The end result looks worth the effort!
