Sweet and sour sauce recipe with pineapple, vinegar, garlic, mustard powder, and ketchup and brown sugar.

Cook Time: 5 minutes

Ingredients:

  • 1 small can pineapple juice (or juice from a 15-1/4 oz. can pineapple chunks, drained)
  • 1/4 cup ketchup
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup vinegar
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons cornstarch
  • 1/2 teaspoon granulated garlic
  • 1/4 teaspoon mustard powder
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce (or less)
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger

Preparation:

Mix all together and cook over medium heat until thickened. May be prepared in microwave in microwave-safe bowl. Microwave about 4-1/2 minutes on high or until thick, stirring every minute.

From SDMOORE:
My family loves this sweet & sour recipe. It might be possible to adapt it by substituting cherry juice for part of the pineapple juice. We like it with chicken nuggets, or the meatballs from Sam's Club. When I make the meatballs, I open a can of pineapple chunks, drain the juice to make the sauce, and then add the chunks to the sauce after it thickens. It's really good served over rice.

"I was looking for an easy sweet & sour recipe, but wanted something with a little more flavor than ""ketchup and brown sugar"" recipes I was finding. This has great flavor, not overwhelming. I used Rice wine vinegar."
