Instructions

Whisk the pineapple juice, brown sugar, vinegar, ketchup, and soy sauce together in a small pot. Add red pepper flakes for spicy.
Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 1 minute.
Stir in the cornstarch slurry and simmer, stirring constantly, for 1-2 minutes, or until the sweet and sour sauce thickens.
Cool and enjoy!

Notes

For a thicker sauce, swirl in another tablespoon or more of the cornstarch slurry until it thickens to your preference.
Pineapple Juice. Avoid fresh pineapple juice, as it can prevent thickening. Processed pineapple juice (canned or jarred) is idea for making sweet and sour sauce.
