Sweet & Spicy Pork Picadillo

I am so hungry right now typing this post.  This meal is right up my alley.  I love picadillo and this sweet and spicy version in the crockpot is just fabulous!  I have even made a double batch and used it as burrito filling later in the week or have frozen it for another meal.  I love cooking double batches for meals later!
