Step-by-step cooking
Step 1:
We prepare the products according to the list and look at how to cook sweet and sour sauce with pineapples. Canned pineapples are cut into cubes, if you have pineapple rings. But if you have already bought cubes, then you do not need to do anything.
Step 2:
Dilute starch in a separate bowl (I use potato).
Step 3:
Take a small saucepan, preferably with a thick bottom. And mix tomato paste, soy sauce, pineapple, lemon and orange juice in it. We put the saucepan on a low heat and heat it up.
Step 4:
When the mass is warmed up, pour in water with starch and stir.
Step 5:
As soon as the sauce starts to bubble, add pineapples to it. Stir and let stand on the fire for about one minute.
Step 6:
After the sauce is removed from the heat, put it in a saucepan and serve immediately. Such a side dish is good to serve hot. If in your opinion there is not enough salt in the sauce, you can add salt to taste. But there is enough salt in soy sauce.
One of my friends likes to add sweet and sour sauce with pineapples and sweet bell pepper, cut into cubes. Another friend and part-time sister makes a similar sauce with the addition of tomatoes, onions, carrots and corn. And she also adds various spices to this sauce: ground cayenne pepper, curry powder, mustard, ground black pepper, etc. I'm going to find out the recipe from her in detail and also cook this sauce. I really like my cooking recipe in this form, but it's never too late to learn something new for myself. You can also try different versions of it to compare and increase your culinary experience. Also, sweet and sour sauce with pineapples is suitable for preserving it in cans for the winter - also an option. I cook it sometimes on holidays. There are always those who want to try it with a variety of meat dishes. Judging by the enthusiastic reviews of the guests, the effect of such a combination is always positive.
