How to Make Homemade Sweet Sour Sauce
- Drain one 20-ounce can of pineapple chunks, reserving 1/2 cup of the juice.
- In a medium saucepan, combine 1 cup of granulated sugar, one 14.5-ounce can of diced tomatoes, 1/2 cup finely chopped onion, 1/4 cup soy sauce, 1 tablespoon grated fresh ginger, and the drained pineapple chunks.
- Bring the mixture to a simmer over medium heat, then reduce heat and cook for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- In a small bowl, whisk together 2 tablespoons of cornstarch and the reserved 1/2 cup of pineapple juice until completely smooth.
- After 20 minutes of simmering, pour the cornstarch slurry into the saucepan with the pineapple mixture.
- Bring the sauce to a boil, stirring constantly. Cook for about 2 minutes, or until the sauce has thickened slightly.
- Remove from heat and let the sauce cool completely before refrigerating.
- Refrigerate for at least 2 hours to allow flavors to meld. Enjoy!
