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 restaurants with their recipes under this section. Unfortunately, I don't remember the name of the restaurant 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.
