Less vinegar and more brown sugar. Otherwise, pretty good.

This was delightful! I must admit that we had no ketchup on hand, just my husband and I who do not use ketchup. However, I did use the same amount of a mild BBQ sauce in place of that. It turned out spectacular! We used in on coconut shrimp my husband made and I would highly recommend it for dipping BBQ chicken, or any other grilled meat/s. Super easy, super good and very impressive. I will never buy bottled S&S sauce again, I am sure you could even substitute plum jelly in place of the ketchup for an instant plum sauce. We make our own eggrolls and pan fried dumplings, this sauce would work very well with those. This is a true keeper, thank you for sharing...

Way too much vinegar, I had to add more sugar and more ketchup...I used canned juice maybe that was why. If I try again I'll add the vinegar by tbs to taste.

This is so-so. I didn't have pineapple juice, but had a can of crushed pineapple, so I added that and then strained the pineapple out after cooking. I don't care for the ketchup taste, so I might switch to tomato sauce next time. I didn't like how this tasted alone, but once dipped into an eggroll, it's pretty tasty!

Very good dipping sauce and better than the packets for sure. I made some changes to get it to my liking: 1. rice wine vinegar instead of distilled white 2. 3 teaspoons cornstarch- otherwise not thick enough 3.sesame oil instead of vegetable oil 4. 4 tablespoons brown sugar These litlle changes made it better than take out sauce for us, thanks for the basic recipe-it was a great place to start!

I enjoyed this with egg rolls, but at the first taste felt that the vinegar came through too strong. I added some more brown sugar and let it simmer a bit to mellow some of the vinegar taste. Perhaps using rice vinegar the next time would be a solution. I was also a bit skeptical about using the vegetable oil as I have never made a sweet and sour sauce with that ingredient. But after bringing the sauce to a boil with constant whisking, the oil emulsified into the sauce and gave it an especially smooth consistency.

I can only give this recipe 4 stars if you make it the way it's written. However, if you use a premium rice vinegar, and sesame seed oil it tastes better than take out.

Very Good! Just as it is. I've made this sauce a few times. It is great for sweet and sour meatballs over steamed rice! I have also used orange juice instead of pineapple which made it even more tangy :)

This is just like what you get in a restaurant with sweet and sour chicken. Except I accidently put in 1 tsp. of corn syrup instead of corn starch, but it was excellent.

I have finally tweaked this recipe to where my hubby likes it. I triple the corn starch, use half the vinegar, and triple the brown sugar. Yep, it's a pretty big departure. :) I make it with homemade chicken nuggets, so the husband can have them without the fillers from a fast food joint!

I made this sauce for my homemade egg rolls and my family loved it. The only thing I did different was to use a total of 2 & 1/4 tsp of corn starch, oh, and I didn't add any salt, it still turned out good.

This recipe was just ok. It did not thicken up and was pretty runny and it tasted a bit too strong of vinegar. Even still, my family did enjoy it with our homemade eggrolls.

I ended up adding another 1/2 cup pineapple juice and a whole cup of brown sugar to make this sweet and sour, otherwise, it was just all sour. The pineapple juice adds a nice twist to sweet and sour!

Pretty good. A little too much vinegar taste for me. I'll play around with the measurements. Added a 2 TBSP more sugar to cut the vinegar.

I agree, a little more sour than sweet. At first I didn't like it but it grew on me. I used it with chicken bites as an appetizer. Will make again, but with a little more juice and sugar.

This sauce was just okay. It has a very strong vinegar taste even after additional sweetening. I did thicken it a bit more so it would resemble more of a sauce than a dip..but I have had better sauces.
