SWEET & SOUR SAUCE


This is the perfect sweet and sour sauce for just about anything - from fried sweet and sour pork, chicken, or shrimp.  It also great for egg rolls, fried wontons, and my grandson's favorite, chicken nuggets.


INGREDIENTS

  • 1 cup pineapple juice 
  • 3/4 cup packed brown sugar
  • 1/3 cup rice vinegar (or use apple cider)
  • 3 tablespoons ketchup
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons cornstarch dissolved in 2 tablespoons water

DIRECTIONS

  • Place all of the ingredients, except for the cornstarch slurry, in a small saucepan and bring to a boil. Stir in the cornstarch slurry and simmer for another minute until thickened, stirring constantly. If using red food coloring, stir it in.
  • Let the sauce cool completely and store in an airtight container in the refrigerator where it will keep for 2-3 weeks.
