Costa Vida Sweet Pork

Sydney sent me her most wonderful how to for Costa Vida Sweet Pork. What a great way to make a fabulous dinner with food from your pantry. Everyone in my family loves the sweet pork from anywhere, but Costa Vida is a favorite!

Thanks Sydney.

Costa Vida Sweet Pork

Ingredients
  • 2 quarts home pressure canned pork tenderloin, drain off and dispose of the liquid
  • 1-(6oz) can tomato paste (I use Hunts 100% no salt added)
  • 2-(7¾oz)cans Mexican hot style tomato sauce (El Pato in the yellow can)
  • 2 cups brown sugar, packed
Directions

No need to break up the chunks of meat, just combine all in a crock-pot for 3-4 hours until flavors have blended. The meat will be tender, flavorful and will have broken up into shredded pork. This is so yummy served with beans on a bed of romaine lettuce. Tanner loves it with Texas Flour Tortillas.

The Recipe File

It was impossible to visit with Nana and not get into the recipe file. This is no small file. Tracy, Sydney and I have all at one time or another attempted to typeset the recipes in this file only to be overwhelmed. Since no one person is up to the task of immortalizing this life's work of recipes, it would be great if everyone participates. As you need recipes for different things you can take them and typeset them, or scan them however you would like to do them. Then post them on this site to contribute your part in all this.  Please add a label to your posts so we can eventually go in and organize by category. It was Nana's dream to have a book that would help us all with the various things we will make in our kitchens. She spent a lifetime perfecting her craft and was truly amazing. When we feel we have done her justice, we will organize a book and have copies printed for all of us. I hope as we contribute not only her recipes, but some of our own as well we will remember how much she loved to bring people together over good food. It will be such a tribute to her if we can enjoy this endeavor, enjoy each other and enjoy the memories we all have in our hearts.
