    This is the best homemade sweet and sour sauce I've made yet. I think I'll use less cornstarch next time because we was using it for dipping sauce and like a thinner consitancy, but it was good like the recipe stated.

    Oh YUM!...Suzy,this is a great and very easy to put together, sweet and sour sauce, I used it for my brisket, and it turned out fantastic...I added some fresh minced garlic to the sauce, cause my DH and myself love garlic, and I doubled the recipe...I will be making this again...thanks for a super recipe!
