We LOVED this sauce! Made egg rolls for dinner and I needed a sweet and sour sauce and found this one. Nice and thick, alittle sweet but delicious!! This is one of those recipes that I usually have all the ingredients on hand and can make in a flash when needed. A keeper in my book for sure!! Thanks so much for sharing the recipe!

I made this for Pick a Chef Fall 2005. This was an easy recipe and produces a nice thick sauce. I always have these ingredients in the house and now I can whip up and easy sauce in a flash. I used it over meatballs that I had in the freezer and this recipe has found a place in my public cookbook "Stuff to do with meatballs" Thanks!

I live by the Atlantic Ocean - beautiful
sunrises! For fun, I like to read, sew,
and spend time with my children [son age 17, daughter age 10]. I enjoy cooking for my family and friends.Every week, on my day off, I try something new. Sometimes it's a "keeper", sometimes it's a dud, but it's always interesting. My husband, son and daughter look forward to "New Recipe Night", and to rating my efforts.
