- 1/2 cup ketchup
- 1 tsp soy sauce
- 1/3 cup white vinegar

- 3/4 cup cold water, or half pineapple juice and half water
- 4 to 5 Tbsp corn starch, (5 Tbsp makes a pretty thick sauce)
Instructions
- In a saucepan, combine 1/2 cup ketchup, 1 tsp soy sauce, 1/3 cup vinegar, 1/2 cup brown sugar and 1 cup white sugar until combined.
- In a separate cup, whisk 3/4 cup cold water (or pineapple juice) with 4 Tbsp cornstarch until well blended. Whisk vigorously into the ketchup mixture.
