sweet and sour sauce
(2 ratings)
I love this sweet and sour sauce. It is very "pineappley" and it goes really well over chicken, shrimp and pork. Super easy to make and keeps really well. I always have a container of it in the freezer for a quick go to when time gets away from me.

4This sauce keeps well in the refrigerator, and it may be reheated easily in the microwave or on the stovetop. I have frozen it and it will require some vigorous stirring to get it back together but it still tastes great! I use this sauce over chicken, shrimp and pork .. served with rice or noodles it makes a delicious meal!
