Mumbo Sauce - D.C.'S Famous Sweet & Sour Sauce - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1 (6 ounce) can tomato paste
2/3 cup ketchup
2/3 cup white sugar
1 cup pineapple juice
1 cup distilled white vinegar
1 lemon, juiced
1/4 cup honey
2 tablespoons soy sauce
1 1/2 tablespoons freshly grated ginger
1 teaspoon cayenne pepper

Preparation

Place tomato paste, ketchup, sugar in a saucepan. Pour in pineapple juice, white vinegar, lemon juice, and honey into the pan. Add soy sauce, grated ginger, and cayenne pepper. Whisk together thoroughly. Place pan over medium-high heat. As soon as mixture starts to bubble, reduce heat to medium-low and simmer, whisking occasionally, until mixture has thickened slightly, about 10 minutes.
Remove pan from heat; allow to cool about 10 minutes or so. Pour sauce through a fine strainer to eliminate solids.
