    We love love love this. We don't use all the sauce, our kids only like a scoop over the top of there pork and rice, so we freeze half for another time. I'm sure as they get older they'll want more! If we have guests I'll double the pork and use all the sauce and it's a huge hit.

    This was delish! Few amendments. I dusted pork in flour & pan fried then just added to sauce mixture in the thermo server.
    I only had a 225g tin of pineapple pieces & this was plenty enough still. Dropped sugar to 80g (also didnt bother milling it). Used whatever veg I had in the fridge.
    Very tasty!!

    This is delicious, the family loved it! I didn’t bother battering the pork, just cooked it in the sauce for 10mins at varoma, the scotch fillet turns out SO tender. You could easily double the pork as there is loads of sauce. Thankyou!

    So pleased with the results! Started to battered and deep fry the pork, but ended up coating in flour and almost stir frying it. Just beautiful and our visitors came back for seconds. Thanks for sharing.
