Sweet & Sour Sauce

Ingredients
¾ Cup packed brown sugar
1 Tbsp corn starch
1 8 oz can of crushed pineapple with juice
⅓ Cup vinegar
⅓ Cup water
1 Tbsp soy sauce (I use lower sodium)
1 small red pepper, chopped (about ⅓ cup)

Instructions
In a 2 qt. sauce pan, combine the brown sugar and cornstarch. Stir in the pineapple, vinegar, water and soy sauce.

Bring to a boil, stirring constantly. Reduce heat to a simmer and cover. Simmer for 5 minutes to blend flavors, stir occasionally. Stir in red pepper and simmer about 2 minutes more, until desired thickness is reached. The sauce will thicken more as it cools.
