Danny Kay'S Sweet And Sour Sauce - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1 cup sugar
3/4 cup white vinegar
1/2 cup water, plus
2 tablespoons water
3/4 cup pineapple juice
1 1/2 tablespoons cornstarch
1/2 teaspoon red food coloring

Preparation

In a small saucepan, combine the sugar, vinegar, 1/2 cup water and pineapple juice. Bring to a boil and simmer, stirring, until sugar dissolves.
Blend the cornstarch with the remaining 2 tablespoons of water. Bring the pineapple juice mixture to the boil again, and stir the cornstarch mixture into the sauce, stirring a few moments until thickened.
Stir in the food coloring, remove from the heat, and serve as is as a dipping sauce (either warm or at room temperature) or use in a sweet and sour recipe for stir frying.
