Como fazer Linda's Sweet And Sour Sauce
In a medium saucepan, combine 1 cup of water and 1 cup of white sugar. Bring to a rolling boil over medium-high heat.
Stir in 1 cup of ketchup and return to a boil.
In a small bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup cold water and 2 tablespoons of cornstarch until smooth and no lumps remain.
Slowly pour the cornstarch mixture into the boiling sauce, whisking constantly to prevent clumping.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and continue stirring until the sauce has thickened to your desired consistency. If it's too thick, add a tablespoon of water at a time until you reach your preferred thickness.
Serve immediately over your favorite protein or alongside mashed potatoes. Enjoy!
