In my continuing quest for variation in our diet, I came across this recipe in the 2002 Quick Cooking cookbook. Unlike the original recipe, I cooked the pork in the crockpot while I was at work and just made the sauce and added it later. I think by looking at the picture, you can tell which plate is mine, but at least I did eat some nasty broccoli.
We liked this sauce a lot and will definitely be making it again. We thought that it kind of tasted like the duck sauce you can get in packets at fast food Chinese restaurants. Kind of sweet and kind of sour, but nothing overwhelming.
Apricot Sauce
10 oz of apricot preserves (I just eyeballed it)
1/3 cup lemon juice
1/3 cup ketchup (I used a mix of 2 fast food packets and some hot and spicy Heinz)
1/4 cup chicken broth
3 tablespoons of honey
1 tablespoon soy sauce
1/8 teaspoon ground ginger
1 teaspoon of cornstarch of arrowroot powder
Mix all ingredients in a saucepan or pot and bring to a boil, stirring constantly. Stir until sauce is thickened.
Happy Eating!
