How to Make Sweet And Sour Tomato Sauce
- In a small nonstick skillet over medium-high heat, sauté 1/2 cup chopped onion and 1/2 cup chopped green bell pepper until the onion is translucent (about 5 minutes).
- Set aside.
- In a medium saucepan, whisk together 1/2 cup water, 2 tablespoons cornstarch, 1/4 cup brown sugar, and 1/4 cup pineapple juice.
- Bring to a boil over medium heat, whisking constantly until thickened.
- Reduce heat to low. Whisk in 3 tablespoons tomato paste (add more to taste, up to 1 tablespoon at a time).
- Stir in 1 cup diced pineapple tidbits and the sautéed vegetables. Add 1/2 teaspoon salt and hot pepper sauce to taste (start with 1/4 teaspoon and adjust).
- Stir to combine thoroughly.
- Simmer for 5 minutes, or until heated through and flavors have melded. Serve immediately over your favorite protein or as a dipping sauce.
