Crockpot Sweet and Sour Pork

I'm not a big fan of pineapple when it is warmed for some reason.  I had reservations about this recipe for that reason.  We all love sweet and sour, and it was a dump recipe so I decided to give it a try.  I have to admit that it was amazing.  We really liked it.  Not only that it made quite a bit when added with the rice.  Very inxexpsive recipe to feed the family.

Crockpot Sweet and Sour Pork

*2-3 pound lean pork roast
**1 cup granulated sugar (seems like a lot, but it mellows out)
½ cup white vinegar
4 tablespoons soy sauce
4 tablespoons ketchup
20 ounce can crushed pineapple (drained)
.
Brown the pork roast on all sides and put it in your slow cooker. Mix everything else and bring it to a boil, then pour it over the meat.
.
Cook on low for 4-6 hours or until very tender (spoon the sauce over the meat every once in a while).


NOTES: 
*Walmart sells a small vacuum packed 2 pound pork roast that is perfect for this recipe. The package says "pork loin rib eye pork roast".
**Even though as noted the sugar mellows out, it was still a bit sweet for us.  Especially since you have sweet from the pineapple juice also.  I think next time I make it I am going to cut the sugar in half.
