Great with some egg noodles and meatballs.

  • 2 T. tomato paste
  • Optional: 1/2 c. cherry tomatoes (frozen preferred)

Instructions

  1. Add vinegar and cornstarch to medium sauce pan and whisk together until cornstarch is dissolved.
  2. Add remaining ingredients except optional items and stir until well combined.
  3. Cook over medium heat and allow to come to a boil. Simmer for about 10 minutes until thickened.
  4. If desired, in last 5 minutes of simmering, add frozen cherry tomatoes.
  5. Serve hot over noodles or rice with meatballs or other desired proteins.

Notes

*If you don't like pineapple (or you don't like the mouth tingle from it,) you can substitute extra water (about 1/2 cup) and a different fruit. I have successfully used blueberries and apples in place of the pineapple.
