Sweet & Sour Sauce I

1/2 cup peach or apricot preserves
1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
2 cups water
Pinch of salt (opt)
1/8 tsp garlic powder
1 Tbs cornstarch

Combine all in a food processor or blender, and
puree until smooth.
Pour mixture into a saucepan.
Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until
mixture comes to a boil.
Turn heat to low. Cook, stirring constantly, until
thickened.
Remove from heat.

If mixture is too thick, thin with water to desired
consistency.
To increase 'sour' flavor, add a little more
vinegar.

Sweet & Sour Sauce II

1 cup water
1 cup pineapple juice (canned)
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup rice vinegar

Mix the rest of the water, juice, vinegar, sugar,
ketchup, and salt in a saucepan.

Taste sauce, adding more vinegar or sugar if
