I found this recipe in a 1983 issue of the Ohio Magazine. It was listed in the Dining In feature. They use to feature Ohio restuarants with their recipes under this section. Unfortunately, I don't remember the name of the restuarant that the recipe came from and my clipping doesn't list it. This has became the recipe I have used for Sweet and Sour Pork for over 20 years. I hope you enjoy.

This recipe was a real hit with our dinner guests — including two female Chinese houseguests who bossed me around in the kitchen as I made it. They insisted that I use balsamic/black vinegar (good idea). I thought the recipe's sugar amount was too much, so reduced that to three tablespoons, which was perfect. The only other change was to saute the vegetables (except for the carrot which I parboiled) for two minutes before adding to everything else. Double frying of the pork is a brilliant idea. I fried the meat earlier in the afternoon and had trouble keeping those fussy houseguests out of it. Made and enjoyed to celebrate the Chinese New Year.
