My sister Michele gave me this recipe years ago. It's always a hit when I bring a large pan (doubled batch) of this to potluck parties. But I also like to make this for dinner, which I usually serve it over cooked white rice with Hawaiian sweet rolls on the side. But it's also really good without rice. The most convenient thing about the recipe is that using frozen and canned ingredients makes this a really simple dish to toss together, and yet it's so delicious despite how easy it is to make! I've tried all brands, and Contadina brand is the best of all canned sweet & sour sauces.
