sweet and sour sauce
I love this sweet and sour sauce. It is very "pineappley" and it goes really well over chicken, shrimp and pork. Super easy to make and keeps really well. I always have a container of it in the freezer for a quick go to when time gets away from me.

How To Make sweet and sour sauce
-
Step 1Drain and reserve pineapple juice. Add water to make 2 cups of liquid.
-
Step 2In the top of a double boiler, melt the butter. Add brown sugar, cornstarch and salt. Stir in juice, add vinegar and soy sauce.
-
Step 3Then combine pineapple, onion, carrots, peppers and chestnuts into the above mixture. Stir frequently to prevent scorching. Cook until peppers and carrots are soft - approximately 15 minutes.
-
Step 4This sauce keeps well in the refrigerator, and it may be reheated easily in the microwave or on the stovetop. I have frozen it and it will require some vigorous stirring to get it back together but it still tastes great! I use this sauce over chicken, shrimp and pork .. served with rice or noodles it makes a delicious meal!
