Sweet and Sour Chicken

Breaded chicken nuggets (cut in half and heat in microwave just before adding them to sauce)
3/4 cup water
1/2 cup sliced carrots
1/2 bell pepper, sliced
1/2 cup pineapple chunks, drained (or crushed pineapple)

Parboil carrots 1-2 minutes then add green peppers. Bring just to boil again; then drain and rinse with cold water. Add pineapple and set aside.
In a large sauce pan, combine' and bring to a boil :
3/4 cup sugar
1 T soy sauce
1/3 cup ketchup

Add 1/4 cup cider vinegar
Stir together 3T cornstarch and 1/3 cup cold water. Stir into boiling sauce until sauce is smooth and thickened. Add 1 T oil to make sauce shine. Add prepared vegetable mixture and chicken chunks. Serve with rice.

I had a lovely sauce once on meatballs, it was so simple:

1 jar of grape jelly
1 jar of chili sauce

Simple and easy!

Homemade Sweet and Sour Sauce

The best and cheapest sweet and sour sauce is homemade. Combine a jar of apricot preserves, some vinegar and cut up maraschino cherries and juice - mix in a jar and keep in the fridge. Lasts for weeks and so delicious on Chinese food, etc.
