    Mix juice and cornstarch.

SO EASY!!!! And so much better than any of our local take-out places...Wegmans makes the best ready-made, and I didn't realize I was almost out. Made this to make up the difference, and everyone agreed that this was far superior! Thanks so much for the recipe.

    Lorac I hope you don't mind but I took 2 liberties with this recipe. Firstly I used Canned Plum Juice (Italian Prune) and I added 4 drops of hot sauce. On the recipe you gave the option of using Pineaple juice or water but I had the plum juice - really wonderful. The consistency is perfect. Your instructions clear & straightforward. Just the right tang for the sweet & Sour flavor. I had left over cooked chicken, made this sauce and heated the chicken in it. served with Chinese fried rice Thanks Lorac for aquick easy recipe that I shall use again (next time I will try pineapple juice.

    Great easy recipe! We loved it! It's our new sweet n sour sauce now instead of those canned ones where you don't know what is really in them. It tastes just like the sauce we get from the chinese shop thanks heaps for the recipe! I added large chunks of red capsicum and pineapple and onion to my sauce. I might use a little less sugar next time when adding the pineapple pieces as it made it a bit too sweet but GREAT!
