Notes
The recipe reflects what we like and can be a starting point for you (or you may love it just like we do). You can easily change it up to your liking. If you want it more sweet you can add a little bit more brown sugar if you want a little more sour taste to the sauce and more ketchup or pineapple juice.
This sauce should thicken almost instantly when you add your cornstarch slurry. If it does not, make some more cornstarch slurry adding a little at a time until it reaches the consistency you want. Just use equal parts of cornstarch and cold water to make your slurry.
