I grew up on pork. My grandparents (who I grew up with) were esteemed farmers in the community who reared several animals, including yes, pigs.

And so we had the luxury of having all varieties of meat, and the best of it, including pork!

And so, pork - stewed, boiled with gungo peas soup, or stewed pork, were some of the delicacies we enjoyed!

And although I don't fancy pork anymore, a personal decision I took a few years ago because of health reasons, I take great pleasure in sharing the recipe for this delectable dish!

So here you go! The classic recipe for Sweet And Sour Pork, Jamaican style!

I Should Tell You....

• Sweet and sour pork is typically a dinner item, but is also a feature of lunch for many local restaurants in Jamaica.
  
  
• Sweet and sour Pork is usually served with  white rice, but is also had with popular Jamaican ground provisions, including boiled yam, green bananas and dumplings.
  


• I should also remind you that we proudly inherited sweet and sour  from the Chinese who came to Jamaica (see what did the different ethnic groups bring to jamaica), and today it is one of our sought after dishes.
