Sweet and Sour Sauce- EASY image

I got this recipe back in the mid 1970's from a Chinese cooking class. Its a versatile sauce that can be used for many dishes or a dip for egg rolls. One of my friends who is an authentic Chinese person was horrified. She told me it is no where near a real Chinese sweet and sour. I'm sorry Lee, but I do like it and its easy. ...

Time 15m

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 can(s) (8 ounces) crushed pineapple in own juice
1 c catsup
1 c unsweetened pineapple juice
1/2 c brown sugar, firmly packed
1/2 c cider vinegar
1 pinch dried red pepper flakes, optional

Steps:

  • 1. Pour un-drained canned pineapple in blender. Process until finely chopped. Pour pineapple into a medium saucepan with catsup, juice, brown sugar, and vinegar. If using pepper add now. Cook over medium/high heat, stirring, until mixture just begins to boil. Reduce heat and cook (stirring frequently) until mixture reaches the consistency you desire. Store any unused sauce in frig.
  • 2. Use to make any sweet and sour dish. Just stir fry meat and veggies and add this sauce before serving over rice. I like this as a dip for egg rolls, especially with the red pepper.
