Simple...right outta the old guy's head!(but un hot)
Doug's Sweet and Sour Sauce
1/2	cup brown sugar, bring to half with rice vinegar, then fill cup to
3/4 mark with water
1	tsp light(Kikkoman)soy sauce
1	tsp dark soy sauce
1	tbls catsup
1	tbls Dave's Peach and Hab sauce
Place all of above in a saucepan and heat to simmer, ensuring that the
sugar disolves...chop 1 medium to small carrot into chinese roll cut and
place in simmering mixture...cut half a green pepper into chunks and
also place in saucepan...prepare 2 tbls cornstarch with 2 tbls water and
have ready...when carrots are tender firm, add cornstarch mix, slowly,
using only as much as required to thicken. Taste, and add
salt, if required, then add a good shot of red food coloring, and one
tsp of sesame oil, and stir it in.  This makes a superb sweet and sour
sauce with a little bite, ideal for any Chinese dish calling for sweet
and sour, and the rice wine vinegar is a lot less vinegary than others
Cheers, and enjoy it...Doug in BC
