A few notes worth considering with sweet & sour sauce – Freshly squeezed pineapple juice contains enzymes that will break down the corn starch and prevent the sauce from remaining thick, so either use canned or bottled pineapple juice. An all natural red colouring will give our sauce a nice bright red appearance – extra appealing for the kids!
INGREDIENTS
- 1 1/2 tbs cornstarch dissolved in 2 tablespoons water
- 1 cup canned pineapple juice
- 1 tbs ketchup
- 1/3 cup rice vinegar
- 2 tbs soy sauce
- 2-3 drops all natural red food colouring
- 3/4 cup packed light brown sugar
INSTRUCTIONS
For the sweet & sour dipping sauce
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 colouring, stir it in. Let the sauce cool completely and store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 2-3 weeks.
