Another recipe from my best friend’s mom. I had never made homemade sweet and sour sauce before and was surprised by the amount of vinegar, but it worked and it is delicious. Georgette advised me to double the ingredients so that is what I have listed below to assure you have plenty of sauce.
Ingredients:
- 3/4 cup ketchup
- 3/4 cup white sugar
- 1/2 cup white vinegar
- 4 TBS soy sauce
- 4 TBS Worcestershire sauce
- 1 can pineapple chunks in heavy syrup
- Ground ginger to taste
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Oil
- 1-2 red, yellow or green peppers, sliced
- 1 onion, cut up in big chunks
- 5-6 stalks of celery, sliced
- A slab of ribs, type is your choice
Directions:
Cut ribs into individual pieces. Sprinkle with salt, pepper, and ground ginger. Heat oil in a pan and brown ribs. Set aside. In same pan saute vegetables until softened. Mix ketchup, sugar, vinegar, soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce and combine with vegetable, return ribs to the pan. Add juice only of pineapple, save pineapple to add later. Cover and simmer until ribs are tender. Add pineapple chunks at the end.
