Directions

1. In small bowl, combine jam, soy sauce, water and cornstarch. Set aside.

3. Transfer pork and ginger to bowl with slotted spoon. Add canola oil to skillet. Stir-fry peppers, water chestnuts, and apples until peppers are crisp tender, about 3 minutes.

4. Add pork back to skillet along with scallions. Stir-fry 30 seconds. Add jam mixture. Continue to stir-fry 30 seconds to one minute, or until sauce thickens. Season to taste with black pepper.

    I made this but added sliced carrot, pea pods, and bamboo shoots to it. I also changed the apple to pink lady apples because they are a little crisper. It was very good. - 12/18/08

    Excellent! I used snow peas instead of yellow peppers and served it over brown rice. It was very colorful and flavorful. A winner in my family. - 6/22/09
