I've been messing with a few sweet and sour sauce recipes, and this is what I finally came up with.

It's great "As Is", or use it as a base for my Tiger Sauce Copycat Recipe.

Tastes Fantastic!

Enjoy!

Sweet & Sour Sauce

Recipe Makes 1 Cup
 

Sugar

1/2 Cup

White Vinegar

1/2 Cup

Pineapple Juice - Frozen Concentrate

1/3 Cup

Worcestershire Sauce

1 TBSP

Ketchup

2 TBSP

Maraschino Cherry Juice

1 TBSP

Minced or Grated Fresh Ginger Root

2 TSP

Minced Fresh Garlic or Garlic Powder

1/2 TSP

Oil

1 TBSP

Corn Starch

1 TBSP

Water

2 TBSP
Directions:

Pour oil, minced ginger and minced garlic into the sauce pan

Heat until you can smell the ginger, but do not allow ginger and garlic to brown. 

Remove pan from heat.

Add Sugar, pineapple juice, vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, ketchup and maraschino cherry juice to the pan.

Simmer for about 10 minutes on low heat

Add corn starch to water and stir until completely dissolved

Turn burner up to medium/high heat and slowly add corn starch, while stirring mixture.

Keep stirring until mixture thickens.  The longer you boil, the thicker the mix.

Take pan off burner and allow mix to cool

Substitutions:

You can substitute ground ginger for the minced ginger root, and garlic powder for the minced garlic

All the ingredients needed for making a great Sweet and Sour Sauce


All the ingredients are brought to a gentle boil to thicken


Done boiling and thickened up nicely

The Sweet and Sour Sauce turned out great, but my Tiger Sauce Copycat turned out pretty darn good too!

I'll post the Tiger Sauce Copycat Recipe later
 
Thanks for this recipe. I love S&S sauce but was wondering what the uses would be. I'm brand new to smoking (or any type of cooking) so cut me some slack. Would you smoke the meat and then add this sauce at the end?

Thanks

Hey Ben

I was actually playing around with a TigerSauce Clone Recipe and needed to make a Sweet & Sour Sauce recipe as a base.

My kids love it on chicken and pork

Yes Ben. Sauces like that go on near the end of the cook or at the table. S&S goes great on Chicken but is a nice addition to Pork. Those Pork Tenderloins you made, try marinading them with 1/2cup Soy Sauce, 1tsp minced Fresh Ginger, 2 minced Scallions and 1Tbs Brown Sugar at least 4 hours or overnight. Smoke or grill them, slice and serve with the Sweet and Sour. Add some rice and stir fried Veggies and you have a complete meal...JJ
