Dinner report card

I love the ease and convenience of using the crock pot to make dinner. The one problem I have is that the resulting food doesn't generally make for the best food photography. Upon grading our dinner the other night, I gave it an A for taste and a D for looks. I changed up a recipe for Poylnesian Pork I found on Recipe Zaar a bit, and it made for a tasty, although not so pretty dinner!

Ingredients
6-8 pork chops, trimmed
1 onion, sliced
1 garlic clove, minced
1 inch fresh ginger, grated
1tsp salt
1tsp pepper
1 20oz can of pineapple tidbits
1/2 tidbit can of water
2tbsp cornstarch
1/3C apple cider vinegar
2tsp soy sauce
1tsp brown sugar
1/2tsp salt
1/2tsp pepper

Directions
Place all ingredients up to the cornstarch into the crock pot. Cook on low for 8-9 hours. Remove meat, onion and pineapple with a slotted spoon to a sering platter or bowl. Pour the remaining liquid into a saucepan. Whisk together the remaining ingredients and add to the liqiud in the saucepan. Cook over medium-high heat until thickened. Pour over chops and serve.

I served this with orzo, but it would be good with rice also. This was pretty good. The hubby thought it wasn't quite sweet enough. I think he was expecting more of a sweet an sour flavor. You may want to incraese the brown sugar to 2tsp.
