Ever wonder how to make the Sweet & Sour sauce your local Chinese joint has? You know that toxic red stuff that is sticky and sweet? Here it is... I didn't use the red food coloring so mine is what it looks like without the extras.

 1 cup Canned Pineapple Juice
 ¾ cup Packed Light Brown Sugar
 ⅓ cup Rice VinegarYou can substitute apple cider vinegar
 3 tbsp Ketchup
 2 tbsp Soy Sauce
 2 drops Red Food Coloring (optional)
1

Place all of the ingredients, except for the cornstarch slurry, in a small saucepan and bring to a boil. Stir in the cornstarch slurry and simmer for another minute until thickened, stirring constantly. If using red food coloring, stir it in.

2

Let the sauce cool completely and store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 2-3 weeks.
