Sweet and Sour Recipe

 Well hello there.

I've been beavering away today making things...

Can you guess what it is yet?

More on that tomorrow.

For now, I thought I'd share one of the simplest, tastiest recipes I know that a couple of people asked me for ages ago. Sweet and Sour Sauce. I don't have a photo, but it's pretty simple....

Ingredients:

• 2 tablespoons tomato puree
• 3 tablepsoons caster sugar
• 1 tablespoon white wine vineager (I occassionally just use white vinegar and a bit of sherry when I don't have white wine vinegar)
• 1 tablespoon soy sauce (I usually use light soy sauce)
• 1 mug water
• 2 teaspoons cornflour

Method :

• Put all the ingredients except the cornflour into a saucepan. Put on medium heat. Stir occassionally.
• Mix the cornflour with a little (up to 2 teaspoons) of cold water.
• When the ingredients in the pan are boiling, add the cornflour mixture whilst stirring.
• Keep sauce on the heat until required. Keep stirring occassionally. 

Yum yum!

I really like this sauce - I much prefer it to pre-made jars of sauce from the shop, and you can add to it whatever you like. Tonight we just had diced turkey breast with slices of carrot (really need to go shopping!) and it was tasty enough. Given the choice I'd add onion and pepper and pineapple, but that'll have to wait till next time!

I hope everyone else is well. As I said, I've been beavering away cutting and stitching and trimming and turning, and hopefully I'll be able to show you more of that tomorrow.
