Curried Pork and Sweet Potatoes

1 Tbsp all-purpose flour
1 Tbsp curry powder
1/4 tsp salt
1 lb pork boneless loin, cut into thin strips
2 medium sweet potatoes, cut into thin strips (2 cups)
3/4 cup apple juice
1 medium green bell pepper, cut into thin strips (1 cup)
2 Tbsp apple jelly

1. Mix flour, curry, and salt in medium bowl.  Add pork; toss to coat.
2. Spray 12-inch nonstick skillet with nonstick cooking spray; heat over medium-high heat.  Cook pork in skillet 3 to 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until brown.
3. Stir in sweet potatoes and apple juice; reduce heat to low.  Cover and simmer 5 minutes.  Stir in bell pepper.  Cover and simmer 3 to 5 minutes or until bell pepper is crisp-tender.  Stir in jelly until melted.  Serve over rice, quinoa, or couscous.

This was pretty good; all the usual suspects liked it.  I didn't think it was anything amazing, but it was easy and healthy.  I omitted the apple jelly, since 1) I didn't have any, and 2) I thought it would make it too sweet.  However, it was not overly sweet without it, so I would consider adding it (or something similar) next time.  I doubled the recipe (which gave a decent amount of leftovers) and served it over a brown rice/wild rice/quinoa mix.
