I make this sauce to use with pork, chicken, sausage, or shrimp. It is very versatile and very easy to make. I have even used frozen popcorn chicken to make a quick meal.

How To Make sweet & sour sauce

In a small sauce pan combine vinegar, brown sugar, ketchup,and soy sauce. Whisk together to combine.

Bring to a boil. While waiting, drain pineapple and cherries of juice. Cut bell pepper and onion into strips

Pour sauce over sausage, popcorn chicken, cooked and peeled shrimp. Or simply use as a dipping sauce. This is a tasty sauce, for kids don't serve them the onions and peppers if they don't like those. I'm sure they will love the fruit.
