Recipe: All Purpose Sweet & Sour Sauce

This is very good on pan-fried or steamed fish and is a good sauce to
mix into a stir-fry dish of shrimp, pork, or chicken.

Makes about 1 Cup

¼ C catsup
½ C sugar
¼ C water
¼ C vinegar
2 T lemon juice
2 t soy sauce
1 T cornstarch mixed with 2 T cold water

In a small saucepan, put the catsup, sugar, water, vinegar, lemon juice, and soy sauce. Stir to blend and place over high heat. Just before the sauce comes to a boil, slowly add the cornstarch mixture, stirring constantly, and continue to heat until thickened. Remove from the heat.
