Copy-cat Sweet and Sour Sauce

Written by on in Condiment

My kids love McDonald’s Sweet and Sour sauce. In addition to McNuggets being super unhealthy, the sauce itself is full of sugar. So I tried to replicate it with healthier options. It’s still not healthy, but at least it’s better than the original!

Ingredients

  • 1 cup Polaner All-Fruit apricot

  • 4 TBS water

  • 3 TBS apple cider vinegar

  • 3 tsp corn starch

  • 1 tsp soy sauce

  • 1 tsp spicy brown mustard

  • 1/2 tsp salt

  • 1/4 tsp garlic powder

Directions

  • In a small sauce pan, add the Polaner All Fruit.
  • In measuring cup, add water, sauce sauce, and vinegar.
  • Add corn starch to measuring cup and immediately whisk together to prevent clumping of the corn starch.
  • Add liquid ingredients to sauce pan.
  • Add salt and garlic powder.
  • Whisk all ingredients together.
  • Turn on heat to medium whisking as the sauce cooks.
  • Bring to a boil. Then simmer as you keep whisking for 5 minutes.
  • Serve with your favorite dippable food, like nuggets, pretzels, or even veggies!

Notes

  • The clumps of the All Fruit should dissolve as you cook. If you prefer a smoother texture, you can always use an immersion blender before cooking.
