I substituted 3/4 cup stevia for sugar and chopped grape tomatoes for canned. I also used the 20oz can of pineapple and realized too late the recipe called for 8oz can. Made plenty and was delicious. May have been sweet enough without added sweetener. -
Turned out great to use in sweet and sour pork wraps. Really good. -
I made up this recipe and served it with vegetarian meatballs (brand-name Nate). It was absolutely delicious. I had a food processor and it made it easy to chop up all those onions. Yes, there were a lot of onions since I was serving 75 people at a Luau. I had made up samples of 4 other sweet-sour sauces that were here on the Recipezaar website. Of all of them, this had just the right texture and taste. The vinegar I used was basalmic vinegar. So it was darker and I felt it complimented the meatballs better. I rejected two other recipes because I didn't care for the taste. I did use the Sweet-Sour Sauce for Meatballs & Wings recipe for my Hawaiian Enchiladas, and it was a good choice for them. I'm sure you would enjoy this as it has a nice rich flavor. Irene T. -

I am Married to the same guy for 40 years,I Have 2 beautiful Daughters, who have given me 6

I love to cook,in fact you could call it my favorite hobby
My pet peeve is telemarketers,Every time I get busy with my recipe hobby one of them will call and knock me off the web,and of coarse I waste precious time getting back on.I am disabled,so I no longer work,and have plenty of time to pursue my hobby.
My best dish I make is Lasagna but thats just because I love lasagna.I am also asked to bring No-Bake cookies at all of our potlucks, and linger-longers at church.Meat loaf is another often requested dish I am asked to bring...... NOT MY meatloaf but .... My husbands.
He is as good a cook as I am,He can cook anything I can cook, and I can cook anything he can cook,but some things I make better,and some He makes better...So we do a lot of compromising at our house.
