Simple and very good, Member richardjd

Maybe not the best Sweet and Sour Sauce but for its simplicity it is hard to beat and excellent choice for a quick meal. Simple improvement: use fresh veggies instead of frozen. Just cook the veggies until just before the desired doneness, and then add pineapple chunks and sauce.
