I made the sweet and sour vegetables last night and I reallyy liked them.
My husband thought they were too sour, but I thought the sweet and sour
mixture was just right. If it is too sour, you could cut out some of the
vinegar. Can anyone guess as to how much fat is in this recipe? It did not
give any information. Well, here is the recipe.

		Sweet and Sour Vegetables

		Preparation Time: 30 minutes
		Cooking Time: 15 minutes

Serve over rice or other whole grains.

1 20 oz. can pineapple chunks in	1 cup sliced carrots
	their own juice			4 cups chopped broccoli
1 onion, cut in wedges			1 cup water
1 bunch scallions, cut into		2 cloves garlic, crushed
	1 inch pieces			1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger
1 large green pepper, cut into
	1 inch pieces

Sauce
1 cup unsweetened pinapple		1/4 cup cider vinegar
	juice				2 1/2 tablespoons soy sauce
1/3 cup brown sugar			2 tablespoons cornstarch

Drain the pineapple, reserve the juice and set aside.
Place the vegetables, except the broccoli, in a large pot or wok with
1/2 cup of the water and the garlic and ginger. Saute for 5 minutes. Add
the broccoli and the remaining 1/2 cup water. Stir, then cover and cook
over low heat for 5 minutes.
Combine the sauce ingredients in a separate bowl.
Stir in the pineapple chunks and the sauce mixture. Cook, stirring until
