This recipe was an amazing success! I did change it up a little bit - I used the juice from the pineapple with only a few of the tidbits, added a pinch of kosher salt, and a splash of rosie's cherry grenadine (I didn't have a jar of maraschino cherry juice.)

This stuff is great, perfect for dipping egg rolls. I didn't have pineapple in my pantry, but I did have mandarin oranges (also had a can of cranberry sauce - I'll try that next time because i bet any sweet/sour fruit will work great) so used those instead. I also suggest that the very first ingredient you start to work with is the corn starch and then start adding a little liquid to mix into the consistency of a thick mud. Then add your tomato paste (or as in my case catchup) and mix that good before you add the rest of the liquid. I also pureed my oranges (pineapple, cranberry, whatever) and added that too before adding the rest of the water and vinegar & sugar. No lumps, smooth as silk that way.

This was great! I used 1 c. water and 1 c. pineapple juice, and ketchup in place of tomato paste. Just like restaurants serve!

Pretty good. I used this with some homemade Crab Rangoon and it was yummy. Next time I'd use slightly less tomato. NOTE the amount this recipe makes - I stupidly overlooked it and ended up with enough sweet and sour sauce for an army. If you're drizzling it over whole entrees it should be fine (though still excessive), but if you're just using it for a dipping sauce, consider cutting the recipe (unless you want to have a whole bottle to save).

This recipe was excellent! I cut it in half and it still made plenty (more than enough for three servings). I used pineapple juice instead of water, and didn't include the pineapple tidbits. I also put the cornstarch in the pineapple juice first so that the sauce wouldn't be lumpy. I put the sauce on top of stir fried veggies and rice, and it was really authentic. Tastes just like the real thing! I highly recommend it!

Really liked this, however, the taste of tomato paste was to strong in the final product. Next time I will do the recipe as is excluding to whole can of tomato paste and try only half... Great easy recipe

Way too sweet! Added a splash of soy sauce, and added the cornstarch at the end. Overall a good flavor, will try again with much less sugar.

Easy, delicious. Had to improvise with mixture of tomato paste and ketchup, crushed pineapple etc due to pantry conditions but happy I could do that without compromising outcome. Thanks!!

Wow! this is absolutely yummy! Since I had no tomato paste on hand I used Heinz ketchup. I love this sweet and tangy sauce. I use it for dipping with, "Baked Chicken Nuggets," from this website. Thank you myrite for sharing this sauce.
