WW's Pork-Pineapple Skewers

This is an old Weight Watcher's Recipe.

1 lb boneless pork loin, timmed and cut into 3/4-inch cubes
2 tablespoons cornstarch
2 teaspoons Asian (dark) sesame oil
2 cans (8-oz) pineapple chunks in juice
1 red onion, chopped
1 yellow bell pepper, diced
1/4 cup ketchup
3 tablespoons rice vinegar
3 tablespoons honey
2 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce
3 garlic cloves, minced
1 tablespoon minced peeled fresh ginger
2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro

Mix pork and 1 tablespoon cornstarch in large bowl.  Heat oil in large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat.  Add pork and cook, turning frequently, until browned, 3 - 4 minutes.

Drain pineapple, reserving juice from 1 can. (Refrigerate juice from other can for another use.)  Combine remaining 1 tablespoon cornstarch, pineapple and reserved juice, onion, bell pepper, ketchup, vinegar, honey, soy sauce, garlic, and ginger in 5 - 6 quart slow cooker.  Stir in the pork.  Cover and cook until pork is fork-tender, 4 to 5 hours on high or 8 to 10 hours on low.

At the end of the cooking time, stir cilantro into slow cooker.  Thread pork and pineapple evenly on 8 12-inch skewers.  Serve with the sauce.
