Steps:
- Place the onions in the bottom of a 5 quart slow cooker. Layer carrots over the onions, followed by layers of celery, mushrooms, and pineapple. Season pork chops with salt and pepper. Place them on top of the vegetables. If you like, you may brown them in a hot skillet first.
- In a medium bowl, stir together the pineapple juice, sherry, cider vinegar, and soy sauce. Stir in the cornstarch until dissolved. Mix in the brown sugar, white pepper, ginger, mustard powder, garlic, salt, pepper, hot pepper sauce and tomato paste. Pour this over the pork chops and vegetables. The sauce will taste less sharp after a few hours in the slow cooker. Cover, and cook on Low for 6 to 8 hours, or on High for 3 to 4 hours.

CLEVER CONNIE'S SWEET & SOUR PORK CHOPS
I work with developmentally-challenged adults - a few without dentures, some without the motor-skills to handle knives and forks. My extraordinarily clever supervisor came up with this recipe allowing them (and a spoon) to enjoy the taste of a good pork chop. The meat falls from the bone and shreds easily. The sauce creates a taste of China.

EASY SWEET AND SOUR PORK CHOPS
Being a busy single mom, I look for recipes that are quick, simple and don't have 100 ingredients. This one fits the bill to a T. I've served it to my picky parents and sisters who loved it and my 6 year old always asks for seconds (and even thirds at times)! Original recpie called for equal parts of wet ingredients, but I found it too salty and reduce the soy sauce slightly.

Tips:

- Tenderize the pork chops. To make the pork chops more tender, you can pound them with a meat mallet or use a fork to poke holes in them.
- Marinate the pork chops. Marinating the pork chops in a mixture of soy sauce, brown sugar, garlic, and ginger will add flavor and help to keep them moist.
- Cook the pork chops over medium heat. Cooking the pork chops over medium heat will help to prevent them from drying out.
- Use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature of the pork chops. The pork chops are done cooking when they reach an internal temperature of 145 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Serve the pork chops immediately. Serve the pork chops with rice, noodles, or vegetables.
