Recently Cindi in Nebraska asked for a Sweet and Sour Sauce recipe. I was given this with a steel wok presented to me in 1978. The wok is still going strong and I've never used any other sauce recipe.

Sweet and Sour Sauce

5 tablespoons dark brown sugar
4 tablespoons white vinegar
3 tablespoons cornstarch (mixed with a little water)
3 tablespoons soy sauce
3 tablespoons tomato paste
2 tablespoons sherry or red wine (optional)
2 tablespoons orange juice
8 tablespoons water.

Place sauce mixture in a saucepan . Heat, stirring, over moderate heat until sauce thickens. I use with deep fried pork or chicken. My grandkids love this over grilled sausages.. I often add a medium can of unweetened pineapple pieces (drained ) to the finished sauce. IF you do this use the pineapple juice in place of water in the recipe. This sauce is quite tangy!
Serves 4
