Sweet and Sour Sauce

I made it with the brown sugar this time

and added a bit of honey to the pot! So good!!

This recipe is a slight modification of Wow! Sweet and Sour Sauce and cut in half.

1 cup water
3/4 cup white sugar (can use brown sugar)
1/2 cup ketchup
1/2 can of pineapple tidbits with juice (substitute crushed pineapple if desired)
1/3 apple cider vinegar (or distilled white vinegar)
1 1/2 teaspoons soy sauce
1 1/2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce (or favorite steak sauce)
1/4 teaspoon hot sauce (optional)
red pepper flakes to taste (optional)
garlic powder to taste (optional)
ground ginger to taste (optional)
1 1/2 tablespoons cornstarch

Stir water, sugar, ketchup, pineapple, vinegar, red pepper flakes, soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, and hot sauce together in a saucepan over medium heat. Remove 1/2 cup of the sauce to a small bowl; whisk cornstarch into the sauce in the bowl. Bring the sauce in the saucepan to a boil, stir the sauce with the cornstarch into the boiling sauce. Cook, stirring occasionally, until thickened, about 15 minutes. Remove from heat and allow to cool slightly before using.

*Thicken with cornstarch to suit your personal taste.

 

Note: I have enough Sweet and Sour Sauce to make about 3 more meals!!

I will definitely try this recipe again.
