I like sweet and sour pork/chicken. I've liked it since I was a kid. As I grew older however, I preferred the Korean style w/ the light brown sauce (on the side even) over the chinese style with luminescent red sauce. I had some leftover cranberry sauce (made from scratch w/ fresh cranberries). I don't use much sugar so it's on the tangy side. I usually add honey to taste at serving time. Anyway, turns out that the cranberry sauce results in a great sweet and sour sauce. Sweet, tangy. Just mix w/ the usual sweet and sour sauce ingredients. Sounds weird, I know. But comes out pretty tasty. To me at least.... I prefer chicken thighs to pork as well. "Wrong does not cease to be wrong because the majority share in it."

Good to know! BTW, the intense red color of restaurant sweet-and-sour comes simply from red food dye. If you make it at home without the food coloring, it comes out a nice brown shade. | |||

IIRC, use a little corn starch to thicken it up a bit. ______________________________________________________________________ "When its time to shoot, shoot.

Yea I know. I just prefer chicken to pork in general. Get it?  Except for baby back. And carnitas. And bacon. And pork belly. And tonkatsu.

Never wanting to correct a gentleman, but I believe he mentioned specifically "pork" to refer to meat from a pig, not the horrible vat o' goo that created the McRib. And I believe you also forgot to mention pork rinds konata88 ___________________________________________ Life Member NRA & Washington Arms Collectors Mistake not my current state of joshing gentle peevishness for the awesome and terrible majesty of the towering seas of ire that are themselves the milquetoast shallows fringing my vast oceans of wrath.

What did you add to make it more of a sweet and sour sauce? _____________________________________________ I may be a bad person, but at least I use my turn signal. | |||
