Delicious and easy! I made a half batch to perk up some leftovers. Nice balance of flavors! I'd love to try it next with meatballs! Thank you!!

Like Merlot I made this sweet and sour sauce to pour over meatballs for an appetizer. I made up three varieties of mini meatballs for the holidays. After making and oven baking It's Me -Toolbelt's Appetizer Meatballs, I put a dozen to a large soup bowl, poured over sauce to cover. After cooling in the fridge I then froze them. They reheated beautifully. The seving dish emptied so quickly that when refilling I barely had time to heat and add the cocktail picks! This sauce is great on both chicken and ribs, it is now defintely in my appetizer cookbook as well. Thank you Dotty.

This has great flavor and and the lemon juice gave this sauce a nice "zing" to it! Is nice and runny so it goes oes well with white rice.

I made this sweet and sour sauce to pour over meatballs for an appetizer. Everyone raved about it. The ratio of ingredients is right on and this sauce can be used on chicken and ribs too so do not hesitate to make this. Another wonderful recipe from Dotty2!!!
