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.
Tips:
- For a thicker sauce, add more cornstarch or arrowroot powder.
- For a spicier sauce, add more chili sauce or red pepper flakes.
- For a sweeter sauce, add more sugar or honey.
- For a more sour sauce, add more vinegar or lemon juice.
- Serve the sauce immediately or store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
