SWEET AND SOUR SAUCE:

2 cans (14 oz. each) pineapple chunks, drained (reserve syrup)

1/2 c. vinegar
1/4 c. cornstarch

1 tbsp. catsup
1 c. thinly sliced green onion
3 red peppers, seeded & cut in 1" squares

Combine pineapple syrup with chicken broth, brown sugar, vinegar, soy sauce, catsup and cornstarch. Cook, stirring, until thickened. You can refrigerate the sauce as much as a day ahead. Shortly before you want to use the sauce, heat it slowly, stirring until bubbly. Add onions and red peppers. Cook 1 minute longer. Remove from heat and add pineapple chunks.

Makes about 2 1/2 cups liquid sauce (plus vegetables and fruit). Can be served on a bed of steamed rice.
