This sauce is very good! It's quick and easy to make. I made some changes to it as per another reviewer. I used hot and spicy ketchup and it gave a good kick to the sauce. Thanks so much for sharing this recipe!

very good...first time making sweet and sour sauce homemade, and it turned out great! I followed others' suggestions and increased ketchup, added garlic, and used half rice and half white vinegar. the kids thought it was super too :) thanks so much for the recipe!

I love this sauce - but have also altered it a little - along with using brown sugar, and increasing the ketchup, I also use 1/2 rice vinegar instead of all white vinegar, and I add garlic and ginger. - awesome!

Excellent sauce! Per previous suggestions, I substituted brown sugar for white, and added pineapple juice instead of water. Served over chicken and rice with broccoli on the side. Delish!

I served this with some baked ginger chicken wontons. I was afraid it might be too sweet but it was a perfect mix of sweet & sour. Love this!

Easy and tasty. Great on Chinese rice, egg rolls, and chicken. I halve the recipe and it makes enough for 4 people [who don't drown their food in sauce]. Also, rice vinegar works if that's all you have on hand. Don't be thrown by the ketchup, you can't really taste it.

A nice easy recipe with ingredients you always have on hand. I wisked in 2 tablespoons of apricot jam into the hot, thickened sauce for some texture.

Yummy! I followed all the ingredients and measurements. But I only used 2 tablespoons of soy sauce and instead of water I used pineapple juice. I boiled one green bell pepper in the sauce, whisked the corn starch in, added pineapple chunks in the sauce. Poured the sauce over oven baked chicken breast and white rice. Thank you for a great S&S recipe.

Gosh, I´m sorry but this just didn´t cut it. I tasted it as i was making it and it wasn't good. I tried adding orange juice and other tweaks, but that didn´t help much. I served it anyway, warning my family that it wasn´t an ordinary sns sauce, it didn´t taste as bad with the spring rolls and chicken, but definitely not what i was hoping.

My husband called and said he was bringing home Crab Rangoon and Egg Rolls from a Cambodian lady @ work. This recipe was just perfect for dipping! And easy! Plus, I had all the ingredients on hand! Thank you!

This is a good sweet and sour sauce just the way it is. It has ingredients I always have in the house. It may need more cornstarch, but that's a simple fix with a little water with cornstarch stirred into it and then cooked into the boiling sauce until it thickens.

This was ok, but not great. It was too watery and definitely needs more cornstarch than called for, and was more sour than sweet. Next time I will stick with my mom's sweet and sour sauce which calls for pineapple juice and has a more syrup-like consistancy.

I made a few changes because we are diabetic. I used 1/2 c Splenda and 1/4 c Splenda Brown Sugar Blend, 1/4 c Ketchup, 1/4 c orange juice (that is what I had on hand) 1/4 c water, 1/4 c vinegar, 1/4 c low sodium soy sauce and 2 T flour (didn't have cornstarch). It came out wonderful, however I think pineapple juice would have been better, or maybe a little less orange juice, b/c there was a very definite orange taste. We LOVED this with our Chinese food!

Very yummy! I needed a "duck sauce" for egg rolls and this was the recipe that I had all the ingredients to make. Next time I will try the brown sugar and use it over chicken, veggies and rice. A definite keeper.
