How to Make Delicious Pineapple Sweet N Sour Sauce

  1. In a medium saucepan, combine 1 cup of pineapple chunks (with 1/4 cup of their juice), 1/2 cup granulated sugar, 1/4 cup white vinegar, and 2 tablespoons soy sauce.
  2. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat, then reduce heat to low and simmer for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sugar dissolves.
  3. In a small bowl, whisk together 1 tablespoon cornstarch and 2 tablespoons cold water until smooth.
  4. Slowly pour the cornstarch slurry into the simmering pineapple mixture, whisking constantly to prevent lumps.
  5. Continue to boil for 1 minute, or until the sauce has thickened, stirring constantly.
  6. Remove from heat and stir in 2 tablespoons plum sauce.
  7. Let the sauce cool to room temperature before covering and refrigerating for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld. Enjoy!
  8. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow flavors to develop.
