Fruity Sweet and Sour Sauce

By: SPARKLER8666

"This is the light pink and fruity tasting sweet and sour sauce that they serve in Chinese restaurants. The maraschino cherry juice makes the difference; don't ever throw it away again! Serve warm as a dipping sauce, or over meat as a sweet and sour sauce."

Original Recipe Yield 2 cups

Ingredients

1/2 cup white sugar, or to taste
1/2 cup white vinegar, or more to taste
1/2 cup maraschino cherry juice
1/2 cup pineapple juice
1 1/2 tablespoons cornstarch
1/4 cup cold water

Directions

Mix the sugar, vinegar, maraschino cherry juice, and pineapple juice in a saucepan over medium-low heat, stirring to dissolve the sugar.
Place the cornstarch in a small bowl, and stir the water into it to make a smooth paste. Stir the cornstarch paste into the juice mixture, and bring to a simmer. Stir constantly until the mixture thickens, about 1 minute.
