With spring just around the corner, I'm starting to think of refreshing dinners like sweet and sour chicken. This recipe is out of my daughter-in-law's family Cookbook.
There were about four sweet and sour recipes, and this is a combination of them. I don't usually do this, but I had fun adding different ingredients, tasting the sauce, and then adding something from another recipe to see how it tasted.
This sauce is good!
