Homemade Sweet and Sour Sauce Recipe

Easy recipe for sweet and sour sauce that you can make in minutes to serve with a homecooked chicken dinner. Great for dipping or poured over grilled chicken breasts.

Prep Time 5 minutes Servings: 6 Author Sarah Pope

Ingredients

• 1 cup ketchup preferably homemade or organic
• 1/4 cup raw apple cider vinegar
• 1/4 cup maple syrup

Instructions

1. Mix all the ingredients well in a small glass bowl.
2. Serve immediately.
3. Refrigerate leftovers.

Recipe Notes

Substitute date syrup instead of maple syrup if a GAPS legal, fruit sweetened dressing is needed.

Be sure the ACV you use comes in glass containers. The acidity of ACV will leach toxins if stored in plastic.

For example, while Bragg raw ACV is excellent, do not buy the gallon size which comes in plastic. Stick with 1 liter glass bottles for this brand.
