📖 Variations
The first time you try any new recipe we recommend that you make it just as it is written on the recipe card since that is how the sweet and sour recipe has been tested. However, the next time you make our recipe, you might want to try one of these ideas:
- Add a pinch of red pepper flakes - a little bit goes a long way so taste as you go.
- If you prefer, you can use fresh pineapple juice or substitute orange juice
- For a smoother sauce without pineapple tidbits, use an immersion blender.
