  • “Nice one Bill! I used the basic recipe then stirred through a few teaspoons of cornflour blended with water to thicken and added bell peppers, sauted onion and pineapple to make a great sweet and sour chicken.”

  • “I was in a pinch and needed a quick home made S&S sauce and this really fit the “Bill”.Quick, easy and perfectly apportioned ingredients.I added a few shakes of red pepper flakes b/c we really like a sauce with a kick. An added bonus is this freezes extremely well.”

  • “I needed a quick recipe for some frozen appetizers and cut this recipe in half (ketchup, honey, apple cider vinegar, orange juice), added a little cornstarch and cooked in the microwave on high for one minute.Good sauce with pantry ingredients–How can I complain?Next time, I will probably add a little ginger and garlic, and maybe cut back on the vinegar a little–the taste was good, but the smell of the vinegar was a little much.Thanks!”

  • “Awesome sauce! Easy and tastes great. I used pineapple juice, rice vinegar, tomato sauce, and a mixture of white and brown sugar. I did adda little corn starch to thicken it.”

  • “I don’t think I like sweet sour sauce, but this turned out great after I boiled off some of the vinegar and added some extra sugar, garlic and ginger.An equal portion of vinegar was just too strong for me.”

  • “Wow this was so easy and tasted so very good. I used orange juice and brown sugar splenda for the juice and sweetener options. It turned out great! This is a thin, pourable sauce. I used it as a dip for coconut shrimp. Yum yum!”
