Sweet and Sour Sauce

Serving: 1½ cups

Ingredients

• ½ cup ketchup

• 1 tsp soy sauce

• ⅓ cup white vinegar

• ½ cup brown sugar,packed (can reduce to ⅓ cup)

• 1 cup white sugar (for less sweet taste, reduce a few Tbsp)

• ¾ cup cold water (or half pineapple juice and half water)

• I used pineapple juice and it turned out great

• 4 to 5 Tbsp cornstarch

• (5 makes a pretty thick sauce)

Instructions

1. In a saucepan, combine ½ cup ketchup, 1 tsp soy sauce, ⅓ cup vinegar, ½ cup brown sugar and 1 cup white sugar until combined.

2. In a separate cup, whisk ¾ cup cold water (or pineapple juice) with 4 Tbsp cornstarch until well blended. Whisk vigorously into the ketchup mixture. Bring to a boil while whisking until bubbly, then reduce heat to low and simmer until thickened, remove from heat. Keep in mind, the sauce will get thicker when cooled.
