McDonald’s Sweet & Sour Dipping Sauce

This recipe clones one of those sauces you get with your

order of McNuggets at the world’s largest hamburger outlet.

Now, instead of shoving a fistful of the little green packs

into your backpack, you can make up a batch of your own to

use as a dip for store bought nuggets, chicken fingers, fried

shrimp, and tempura. Or you can even use this as a sauce

for the traditional Chinese sweet and sour dish (with pineapple,

bell pepper, onion, and saut?ed chicken or pork.) It’s a

simple recipe that requires a food processor or a blender,

and the sauce will keep well for some time in the fridge.

1/4 cup peach preserves

1/4 cup apricot preserves

2 tablespoons light corn syrup

5 teaspoons white vinegar

1 1/2 teaspoons cornstarch

1/2 teaspoon soy sauce

1/2 teaspoon yellow mustard

1/4 teaspoon salt

1/8 teaspoon garlic powder

2 tablespoons water

1. Combine all ingredients except the water in a food processor

or a blender and puree until the mixture is smooth.

2. Pour mixture into a small saucepan over medium heat. Add water,

stir, and bring mixture to a boil. Allow it to boil for five

minutes, stirring often. When the sauce has thickened, remove

it from the heat and let it cool. Store sauce in a covered

container in the refrigerator.

Makes about 3/4 cup.
