This looks delicious - sweet and sour sauce is so yummy! I love using ClearJel - cans up so well in my tomato soup recipe and fruit pie fillings. Thanks for sharing!
My favorite Tomato Soup canning recipe is found in Putting Food By authored by: Janet Greene, Ruth Hertzberg and Beatrice Vaughan - Great food preservation book if you don't have it! Country Tomato Soup: (NO NEED TO DILUTE BEFORE SERVING) Here's my measurements: 6 lbs tomatoes, washed, peeled, cooked and sieved to remove seeds (= 10 cups puree) Set aside while preparing the following: 3 heaping cups finely diced onion (3 lrg) 2 cups finely diced bell pepper (I use red if available) Cook onions and peppers together until soft (with just enough water to cover) When soft, sieve or use emulsion blender - I usually use most of the liquid they are cooked in but you might want to drain and add back in if mixture seems too thick as you blend it) Stir into tomato puree. Mix together dry ingredients: 3/4 cup of sugar 2 Tablespoons canning or sea salt 8 Tablespoons ClearJel Blend in 3 Tablespoons white vinegar and just enough more water to make a smooth paste -doesn't take much. Pour paste slowly into the tomato mixture while still cool. Bring to boiling, stirring until liquid clears (it will have a shine to it). Hot Pack and Pressure can only - pints 20 minutes, quarts 30 minutes Usually yields 6 quarts This is such delicious soup - hope you try it! @@PlowAndPantryHomestead
I am so happy to see canned Sweet and Sour sauce. This is such a great sauce that could be used in many ways. For coating or as a dip for chicken, for soup, or any other oriental dish out there. Thank you for sharing great sauce to add to our Pantry shelves.
Thanks for posting this recipe! (and the developer info, too!) I am trying to learn to make meals in one my favorite cuisines - Cantonese/American foods. I mostly figured out making Char Sui (BBQ pork) and making that with pork belly instead of the also delicious pork shoulder is absolutely scrumptious. Congratulations to your son . . . and you all, his family. Success like his requires family support and he is lucky to have you all. I live in the San Joaquin Valley in California and most of the endless fields of tomatoes are to make sauces and especially tomato paste. Endless trucks with huge trays of ripe tomatoes can be seen converging from all directions from late July through September - all heading to the canning plant. It often smells like someone's Italian grandmother's outdoor canning kitchen in late summer . . . and yes, trying to make tomato paste at home takes way too many precious real summer garden tomatoes. Thank you for sharing!
Char Sui is delicious! Thank you for your kind words about our family. It's been an adventure with my son in the academy. And I graduated from high school in the San Joaquin Valley! I lived in Woodlake after my dad retired from the army because my mom grew up there. We didn't have tomatoes around us, but we had oranges, olives, peaches, nuts, and cotton (I don't think they still have cotton). My grandfather used the run one of the orange packing plants. I can only imagine the smell of 'the Italian grandmother's kitchen'. 🤣. We had the smell of blooming orange trees which is still one of my favorite smells in the universe.
@@PlowAndPantryHomestead I have an orange tree right outside my home office window (I work remotely) and when it blooms the scent is heavenly. Orange blossom is one of my favorite smells, too. I live a few hours north of Tulare county and the almond orchards are currently in full bloom. I would enjoy that more if I wasn't sneezing my fool head off all of spring. 😂
This is the first year I froze chopped peppers from my own garden - and I loved having them on hand to use whenever I wanted for cooking. It is awesome!!!! This is a nice video,, I had not had one for a sweet and sour sauce, and I can really use this is cooking.
That sauce is beautiful and sounds so good. I like that you chose to pressure can it to be on the safe side. Thank you for sharing your recipe for this delicious sauce.
Oh my GOODNESS!! This looks so just DELICIOUS!! When we do go out to eat sweet and sour chicken is one of my favorite things to have. To be able to can it up to have on my pantry shelf to easily make it at home, how awesome would that be? Thank you so much for sharing with us!!
Great idea. I always put a jar of water in if my pot isn't full. Living on a hill my pipes sometimes freeze in the winter and it has come in handy even if it has only been a few quarts.
My husband likes sweet and sour, but I'm not a fan. This will be perfect for him to add to his meal while I can add another sauce to my meal. Thank you for sharing this!
Oh man, this looks so good! I wish I wasn't allergic to pineapple 😭 Great tip on canning for the ingredient with the longest time. That is a great way to can your own recipes safely ❤ I'm looking forward to seeing what else you can!
Thank you! And you can make this without pineapple. Up the orange juice to compensate for the pineapple juice and leave out the fruit completely. It will taste slightly different but still good and still be sweet and sour. A lot of restaurant and bottled sweet and sour sauces don't even use pineapple because it's an expensive ingredient compared to the others.
I came from cosmopolitan corn bread. We love sweet and sour sauce, but I always buy the Panda Express kind (delicious but not healthy), but I'm trying to switch to something homemade Thank you so much. I really needed this recipe. I feel the same about tomato paste 😊
That really looks good. Can this recipe be doubled or tripled? Would you need to make adjustments to this recipe instead of straight up double or triple all ingredients? Thank you!
Thank you! Most things that have 'gel' consistency shouldn't be doubled, but I THINK you actually could double this. Because the clear jel is added in near the end and almost instantly thickens, I think you wouldn't have the standard worries. I would say though, make sure you aren't making more than one canner full of jars worth at one time because anything that doesn't fit into one load of jars would not really be salvageable for a second canner load. It would either be too cold, or change consistency upon reheating.
I’ve only recently started liking sweet and sour. Where did you get this recipe? I think there’s one in one of the Ball books but can’t access at the moment.
Glad you pointed out the 5% acidity vinegar … some brands are now carrying lower, so we all must be looking out.
Yes! And I figured new canners might not even realize how wide the range of acidity can be or how important it is.
This looks delicious - sweet and sour sauce is so yummy! I love using ClearJel - cans up so well in my tomato soup recipe and fruit pie fillings. Thanks for sharing!
I never thought of using it for soup!

You are so welcome! Thanks for watching!
What a unique canning idea. Would make beautiful gifts❤

I have never canned sweet and sour sauce. It looks delicious. Thank you for sharing.
It's so good!
What a delicious looking sauce! Have you canned it before or was this a first time canning of your mom's s&s sauce recipe?
I have canned it before. This would be the third or fourth time.
This looks delicious. We don't use a lot of sweet and sour sauce, but this recipe is making me rethink that. Thanks!
Hope you enjoy!
Great for quick dinners with my other canned ingredients!
Oh yes!
I always wanted to have a receipt for sweet and sour sauce. I will be canning this. Thanks
Hope you enjoy!
That sauce looks delicious. I'm definitely making some for our shelves because we love eggrolls with it and I never realized that I could make my own.
Once you have homemade you'll never quite appreciate store bought or restaurant sauce again!
Thanks for the sweet and sour recipe.
My pleasure 😊

It was my mother's recipe growing up. That's why I pressure can it, just to make sure it's safe.
