Prize-winning Polynesian Pork over Rice image

I recently inherited my Great Aunt's recipe collection. This is a recipe from her recipe box that she clipped out of the Chicago Tribune. It had won the "$5 Favorite Recipe prize." From the splatters on the clipping, I imagine my Aunt enjoyed this one. These days,I might try browning the meat in a little olive oil instead of the bacon drippings. Despite the name, I doubt this is a traditional Polynesian dish, but rather is one inspired by Polynesian cuisine.

This recipe is a bit too sweet for my taste. I would recommend reducing the amount of sugar in the sauce.

This dish is a staple in my household. It's a great way to use up leftover pork, and it's always a crowd-pleaser. The pork is always tender and flavorful, and the sauce is amazing. I usually serve it over rice, but it's also great on its own.
