This sweet and sour sauce recipe with pineapple is my own creation. I tried many other recipes on this site and in cookbooks but could never find one I really liked, so I came up with my own. Now, this is the only sauce I use for my sweet and sour pork or chicken.

Ingredients

Original recipe (1X) yields 24 servings

  • 2 cups pineapple juice, divided

  • 3 tablespoons cornstarch

  • 1 cup white sugar

  • ¾ cup ketchup, or more to taste

  • ⅔ cup apple cider vinegar

  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce, or more to taste

  • 2 tablespoons crushed pineapple, or more to taste

  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder

Directions

  1. Whisk 1/4 cup pineapple juice and cornstarch together in a small bowl until smooth.

  2. Combine remaining 1 3/4 cup pineapple juice, sugar, ketchup, vinegar, soy sauce, crushed pineapple, and garlic powder in a large pot over high heat. Stir in cornstarch mixture and cook, stirring frequently, until sauce comes to a gentle boil. Reduce the heat and simmer until sauce is clear and reaches desired consistency, 15 to 25 minutes.

Recipe Tip

Use two cans of pineapple chunks for this recipe. Drain the chunks to get the juice needed, and crush 4 to 5 pineapple chunks for the crushed pineapple. Then, use the remaining pineapple chunks to serve with your sweet and sour pork or chicken.
