Jerri's Sweet And Sour Pork

Trim the fat from the pork and cut into 3/4" pieces. Heat 1 inch oil in a skillet.

Beat flour, 1/4 cup cornstarch, 1/2 cup cold water, the egg and 1 tsp salt with a hand beater until smooth. Stir pork pieces into batter until well coated. Add pork pieces one at a time to the oil (about 20 pieces at a time) and fry until golden brown, about five minutes. Drain on paper towels, keep warm.

Add enough water to the reserved pineapple syrup to measure 1 cup. Heat syrup-water mixture, brown sugar, vinegar, carrots, soy sauce, 1 tsp. salt and the garlic to boiling in a pot, reduce heat.

Cover and simmer until carrots are crisp-tender, about 6 minutes. Mix 2 tbsp. cornstarch and 2 tbsp. water, stir into sauce. Add cooked pork, pineapple and whatever colored peppers. Heat to boiling, stirring constantly. Boil and stir 1 minute. Remove from heat and serve hot with rice.
