Sweet and Sour Sauce

4 tablespoons vinegar
4 tablespoons catsup
4 tablespoons granulated sugar
5 tablespoons cold water
5 tablespoons pineapple juice
3 teaspoons cornstarch
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon toasted sesame oil

Mix all together and heat until thickened. Use right away or chill for later use.



Sweet and Sour Sauce:

1 cup pineapple juice
3/4 cup cider vinegar
3/4 cup granulated sugar
1 tablespoon soy sauce
2 teaspoons fresh ginger
2 tablespoons catsup
2 teaspoons sesame oil
1/4 cup water mixed with 3 tablespoons cornstarch

For sweet and sour sauce: Mix water and corn starch in small bowl. In a saucepan bring remaining ingredients to a boil. Whisk in cornstarch/water mix (it will thicken instantly).




These 2 are my favorites

It has pinapple juice in it along with some food coloring. Then you thicken it with a slury. (Cornstarch and water). You do this in a sauce pan. Then add chunks of green pepper and pinapple. Then you can add some soy sauce at the end.

* 1/3 cup white or rice vinegar (Note: rice vinegar gives better results)
* 4 TB brown sugar
* 1 TB ketchup
* 1 tsp soy sauce
* 2 teaspoons cornstarch mixed with 4 teaspoons water

PREPARATION:
Mix the vinegar, brown sugar, ketchup, and soy sauce together and bring to a boil in a small pot. Mix together the cornstarch and water, add to the other ingredients and stir to thicken.

(If desired, you can add 1 green pepper, cut into chunks, and pineapple chunks as desired after adding the cornstarch.

Sweet & Sour Dipping Sauce

A friend of mine gave me this copycat recipe for McDonalds sweet and sour sauce. It is pretty close to the real thing.
by ThatJodiGirl

1/4 cup peach preserves
1/4 cup apricot preserves
2 tablespoons light corn syrup
5 teaspoons white vinegar
1 1/2 teaspoons cornstarch
1/2 teaspoon soy sauce
1/2 teaspoon yellow mustard
1/8 teaspoon garlic powder
2 tablespoons water

Combine all ingredients except water in a food processor or blender and puree until the mixture is smooth.
Pour mixture into a small saucepan over medium heat.
Add water, stir and bring mixture to a boil.
Allow it to boil for five minutes, stirring often.
When the sauce has thickened, remove it from the heat and let it cool.
Store sauce in a covered container in the refrigerator.
