Made this tonight and we really enjoyed it. Only changes I made is that I used tinned pineapple in natural juice and just 1/4 cup coconut sugar instead of the quantity of brown sugar recipe stated. I also had a zucchini I needed to use up so popped that in as well. . Served it with quinoa. Have leftovers for tomorrow so makes quite a bit.

Made this tonight and it turned out really well. Tasted exactly like the store bought jars of sweet and sour sauce

If you can’t have it then it’s not an option for you so leave it out. It will cut a lot of the sweet from your sweet and sour though 🙂

Will it effect it to much if I don’t add the pineapple? I’m allergic so can’t use it.

Absolutely delicious and is going to be a regular on our menu. Added some celery and extra meat and veg to feed our family, didn’t bother browning the meat off just chopped and added to the veg mix and turned it on to cook.

I’ve been trying to find a good sweet and sour recipe for ages now – This is the best one I’ve come across by far! I used 1kg of pork steaks instead of chicken and added some broccolini about an hour before serving 🙂
