How to Make Sweet And Sour Sauce

In a small saucepan, combine 1 cup pineapple juice, 1/4 cup white vinegar, 1/4 cup soy sauce, 1/2 cup granulated sugar, and 1/4 cup ketchup.
Stir over medium heat, bringing the mixture to a simmer. Reduce heat to low.
In a small bowl, whisk together 2 tablespoons cornstarch and 1/4 cup pineapple juice (or water) until smooth.
Slowly pour the cornstarch mixture into the simmering sauce, whisking constantly to prevent lumps.
Continue to cook and stir until the sauce has thickened to your desired consistency (about 1-2 minutes).
Remove from heat and let cool slightly before serving. Enjoy!
