Ingredients
 

  • 8 ounces crushed pineapple natural juices, do not drain
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1/4 cup red plum preserves
  • 1/2 cup Sweet and Sour Sauce (the yellow type, not the red sauce. We used Kraft Sweet and Sour Sauce)

Instructions

  1. Place all in a sauce pan and simmer on medium low to low heat for 20 - 25 minutes stirring frequently until mixture thickens slightly.  We find this sauce is great with Coconut Shrimp and it goes well with Chicken Nuggets.

    Husband loves this recipe. Says it tastes just like the original. Thank you.

  2. I’m curious to know how to make King Crab Shack’s (in Milwaukee) crab dipping sauce.

    1. *2-3 sticks salted butter, Italian season, Asian fish sauce, Thai peppers, onion powder, chili powder, cayenne powder, rice wine vinegar, fresh garlic, fresh ginger, soy sauce brown Sugar(optional), cilantro, scallion, paprica lemon zest/juice..WARM ingredients to marry flavors and chop and grade garlic, ginger and cilantro….try and adjust to taste…B did say the sauce wasn’t sweet thats why when you make this batch set aside some then pit brown sugar and decide which you like most.
