FRUITY SWEET AND SOUR SAUCE



Fruity Sweet and Sour Sauce image

This is the light pink and fruity tasting sweet and sour sauce that they serve in Chinese restaurants. The maraschino cherry juice makes the difference; don't ever throw it away again! Serve warm as a dipping sauce, or over meat as a sweet and sour sauce.

BARBECUE ROAST PORK WITH FRUITY SWEET AND SOUR SAUCE



Barbecue Roast Pork With Fruity Sweet and Sour Sauce image

This dish is so easy to make.The fruity sauce would go well with chicken or fish too. I made the pork and coated cooked baby potatoes in the juices, lovely. I've made this sauce twice now and everyone loves it. I'm going to try it with bananas too, I've made it with and without the apple and it's just as good.
