SWEET 'N SOUR SAUCE FOR MEATBALLS OR CHICKEN



Sweet 'n Sour Sauce for Meatballs or Chicken image

Sweet and tangy sauce for meatballs or chicken. I developed this recipe as a variation on my simple sweet and sour dipping sauce used in my Asian inspired recipe #336740 recipe. Still very simple to make but a little more sophisticated with the addition of brown sugar, pineapple and green pepper. I hope you enjoy it too!

Time 10m

Yield 2 1/2 cups of sauce

Number Of Ingredients 10

1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
1/2 cup sugar
3 tablespoons cornstarch
1 teaspoon seasoning salt (I use Johnny's brand)
1 (8 ounce) can pineapple tidbits, undrained (or chunks)
1/2 cup vinegar
2/3 cup water
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
1 1/2 tablespoons maraschino cherry juice
1 small green pepper, chopped into 1-inch pieces

Steps:

  • In medium saucepan stir together both sugars, cornstarch and seasoning salt. Mix well.
  • Stir in pineapple, vinegar and water. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat just enough to keep it at a low boil. Cook and stir for 2 minutes.
  • Stir in Worcestershire and cherry juice.
  • Add green pepper, reduce heat to a simmer and cook for 3 minutes.
  • For Meatballs: Pour sauce over your favorite cooked meatballs in casserole dish or in a pan on the stove and heat through.
  • For Chicken: Place boneless, skinless chicken breasts into 13x9x2 inch baking dish sprayed lightly with non-stick cooking spray. Cover and bake at 350° for 20-30 minutes depending on thickness of chicken. Bake until chicken is no longer pink in the center. Uncover the last 10 minutes of cooking.
