This is the light pink and fruity tasting sweet and sour sauce that they serve in Chinese restaurants. The maraschino cherry juice makes the difference; don’t ever throw it away again! Serve warm as a dipping sauce, or over meat as a sweet and sour sauce.
Ingredients
- ½ cup white sugar, or to taste
- ½ cup white vinegar, or more to taste
- ½ cup maraschino cherry juice

Directions
Step 1
Mix the sugar, vinegar, maraschino cherry juice, and pineapple juice in a saucepan over medium-low heat, stirring to dissolve the sugar.
