Quick Homemade Sweet-And-Sour Pork

• 2/3 cup packed brown sugar
• 2/3 cup cider vinegar
• 2/3 cup ketchup
• 2 teaspoons reduced-sodium soy sauce
• 1 pound boneless pork loin, cut into 1-inch cubes
• 1 tablespoon canola oil
• 1 medium onion, cut into chunks
• 2 medium carrots, sliced
• 1 medium green pepper, cut into 1-inch pieces
• 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
• 1/2 teaspoon minced garlic
• 1 can (8 ounces) pineapple chunks, drained
• Hot cooked rice, optional

1. In a small bowl, combine the brown sugar, vinegar, ketchup, and soy sauce. Pour half into a large resealable plastic bag; add pork. Seal bag and turn to coat; refrigerate for 30 minutes. Set remaining marinade aside.
2. Drain and discard marinade from pork. In a large skillet, cook pork in oil over medium heat for 2-3 minutes on all sides or until meat is lightly browned; drain. Add the onion, carrots, green pepper, and ginger. Add garlic; cook 1 minute longer.
3. Cover and simmer for 6-8 minutes or until pork is tender. Add reserved marinade. Bring to a boil; cook for 1 minute or until heated through. Stir in pineapple. Serve with rice if desired.
