NOT TOO SWEET, SWEET AND SOUR SAUCE



Not Too Sweet, Sweet and Sour Sauce image

Some Sweet and Sour sauces seem too sweet or synthetic for our personal tastes, so I decided to develop my own. This recipe has been worked on over time and you'll notice there are a couple of optional ingredients. I've tried all permutations and also varied the amount of tomato paste and water, but these days I make this sauce with everything listed and we think it's just right! Good served over egg fried rice and stir fried vegetables.
