I found this recipe last summer and wow! I use it for many things! Sweet and sour chicken, pork, beef whatever you like. So simple and the flavor is spot on. Real winner!

Simple yet tasty.

I followed directions with no changes. The pineapple flavor was nice however I think Id use less vinegar next time. It was pretty good, my picky daughter liked it.
Kathryn Klein
Easy to make and very good.

It was great

Super easy and delicious. I had all the ingredients on hand. I changed it up a little by leaving the pineapple in chunks, restaurant style, and added thinly sliced tomatoes one minute before removing from heat. Served over sautéed veggies and shrimp. It was a hit! Will definitely make this again.
Heather Clayton
Delish!! Simple, & balanced

My blender is broken so left the pineapple as pieces- just perfect for my Chinese sweet and sour pork and dip for Spring Rolls! A definite keeper :0)

This was okay. It was a bit on the sweet side so added 2 gloves of minced garlic and some that chili paste. I used an immersion blender and left a few smaller chunks of pineapple. After my additions it turned out to our liking. If you like a sweeter sauce this is it… But can easily be adjusted according to your taste.

Everyone loved it! I think next time I’ll make more for my dish!

I added a table spoon of fresh lime juice. The pineapple was over powering. I also used sweet red chili sauce instead of ketchup. I also used arrowroot flour to thicken it…why not add an ingredient with nutritional value? 3-4 tbsp. I chose this recipe because it used a lot less sugar than the others.

Very easy to make as I had everything already in my pantry except pineapple. So I substituted orange juice to add the fruity sweetness. So good. I will try it again when I do have a can of pineapples. Served it with Aidells chicken pineapple meatballs and rice.
