Sweet and Sour Sauce that you can make in the microwave and in a glass measuring cup.  You can measure ingredients in the same vessel that you cook in. You might have to adjust the vinegar or sugar to your taste.  I make this to dip my home made egg rolls in.
You can use it for many things.  You can cut up chicken and add this sauce to the chicken and then serve over basmati rice or sushi rice.

It is super easy to make any time. Use your 2 cup or more glass measuring cup to make your sauce. I used a little more vinegar than what is called for as I like the tang in my sauce. By using a measuring cup, it makes it easier to pour into a vessel for dipping.

Ingredients

1 small can of pineapple juice
1/4 cup Low Sodium Soy Sauce
1/2 cup Rice Vinegar
1/2-3/4  cup packed brown sugar
1/2 cup Ketchup
1-2 Tbsp cornstarch

Mix the first 5 ingredients and microwave on high for 1 minute. Pour a little of the sauce in a small bowl and add the cornstarch starting with 1 Tbsp cornstarch. You will make a slurry. This means just stir with  fork until it is a milky color and add to sauce. Place Measuring Cup back into the microwave for 2 minutes.  If the sauce isn't thick enough for you then repeat the step for the slurry and microwave again.

Mini Cheesecakes with Apple Caramel Sauce I love making mini cheesecakes as they store really well and you don’t have to worry about eating too much. You can top them with almost anything. This recipe theses cheesecakes will be topped with a velvety fresh apple caramel sauce. I used a mixture of Granny Smith and Red Delicious . I peeled mined but you could leave the skins on the Red Delicious if you prefer. You can do the caramel sauce two different ways. Buy a jar of Smuckers or your favorite brand of caramel sauce or make your own using sugar and butter. I made a sauce for the apples and then used the jarred caramel sauce with it. Once the cheesecakes have cooled you can layer them in a container. I used a large container that held 4 on the bottom placed a piece of parchment paper and then stacked more and so on. I scored the apples separately and left the caramel in the jar until needed. The cheese cakes should be cupcake size. 1cup graham cracker crumbs 3/4 cup macadamia n...
