I wrote this recipe! PLEASE disregard the vinegar! You can use vinegar or ketchup, but not both! Also, you can use orange/ lemon lime soda or ginger ale instead of pineapple juice and water. Cut the sugar way down if you use soda. It is also fantastic with brown sugar and/ or soy sauce. I make this almost daily. (with whatever combo of ingredients I have on hand).The recipe is so forgiving and it will whip up in a sauce pan in no time. . My kids dip everything in it!
Easy and good. I ended up dissolving the cornstarch in pineapple juice because I started with a bigger can of pineapple. And I used brown sugar - didn't measure but tried to add a little less than a cup.
awesome recipe!! loved it just the way it is..
The flavor was great but it ended up very thick and jelly-like. i would cut the cornstarch next time.
This sweet and sour sauce is better than even what restaurants serve. It doesn't taste very good at first but if you let it sit and cool down the flavor is much better.
Way too sweet! I'll try it next time with less sugar! My son even thought it was sweet! Overall it was tasty.
This was a very quick and easy recipe. Changes I made were to reduce the sugar to only 3 tablespoons. I also used only 1/2 of the ketchup and used Thai sweet chili sauce for the remaining amount. That added a nice kick without overwhelming. I used rice vinegar but feel that it needed the stronger flavor of apple cider vinegar.
I was very skeptical of this recipe. I followed the notes to switch leave out the vinegar and substitute lemon-lime soda for the pineapple. This came out very well. I added a bit of soy sauce brown sugar and a touch of barbeque sauce. My kids loved it and it is way better than any of the bottled stuff in the grocery store. The novelty of ketchup and soda mixed together helped too I think. I will use it again when I need a sweet and sour sauce.
This was pretty nice better than I expected it to be. I made it exactly as written but I skipped the optional carrots. (I probably would have liked them but I just didn't want to have to go buy them.) For the pineapple I used a can of crushed pineapple. I was a little worried the sauce would be "chunky" but the crushed pineapple softened up a lot. I'm not a kid but I ate this sauce as suggested over meals of chicken nuggets and white rice. I thought this made quite a lot though - those "4 servings" must be fairly large in my opinion.
