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.

the very best homemade recipe so far, only I have had better at restaurants -- I used rice wine vinegar which is an asian ingredient vinegar, & it gave it a more authentic taste.

We loved it! I didn't have brown sugar, so I used white sugar and a touch of honey, and it was the first time I'd ever had sweet and sour sauce that was actually both sweet and sour! Definite repeat!

The second Sweet and Sour sauce I made for one meal, and this one was the keeper. It calls for a touch too much sugar and ketchup, I think, but other than that it's a great recipe in a pinch. It went really well with the Beef Egg Rolls by Trisha off this site. I might also, in the future, cut back on the oil a bit, but just to make it slightly less unhealthy. Thanks, Jackie, for a quick and easy recipe!

This was really good! I was looking for a sauce to use to make sweet sour chicken with veggies and this worked great. I sauteed some chicken until browned, added sliced carrots, onions red peppers, cooked for a few more minutes, then added the sauce and let it simmer for about 10 minutes. It thickened a little and coated everything nicely. Easy and tasty!

I wanted to use this sauce with stir fry so I added a little extra cornstarch to make it a little thicker but made no other changes. This was exactly what I was looking for and I will be using it as a dipping sauce soon.

I thought this sauce was absolutely amazing, so much more flavorful than the red goo from the local takeout place. Unfortunately, my dh prefers his cornsyrup with red food coloring and didn't care for this so much. So, 4*s.

Good taste and smell. I liked the fact that the sauce didn't need artificial coloring! Was perfect with egg rolls!
