I tend to cook without recipes, so I'll do my best to get the quantities right... but please taste test %26amp; adjust! This recipe is super un-fussy.



Equal parts tomato ketchup %26amp; balsamic vinegar (or a really acidic red wine - I once used a terrible wine from Tesco that was around $3 and undrinkable, but made a great substitute for balsamic). For every cup of ketchup/balsamic, I would guess approx. 1/2 Tbsp. sugar, but this must be adjusted by your own tastes.



Do this basic mixture, add garlic salt/powder or fresh crushed garlic, cayenne powder if you like spice, and pineapple juice for extra flavour. Pineapple chunks (tinned) are also a great addition esp. if you're using it as a sauce in which to cook meat/veggies.

This is a staple in our house. And the rice vinegar really is the better choice. It has a nice depth of flavor.
