The Best Sweet and Sour Sauce!

This is not only the perfect taste and consistency, but it also makes the most beautiful red color!

1 c. sugar
1 t. soy sauce
1/3 c. vinegar
2 T. cornstarch (or 3 T. Ultra Gel)
dash salt
1/4 c. pineapple juice (I buy those little cans that come in a six-pack)
4 T. ketchup
1 T. water

Combine all but Ultra Gel and bring to a boil. Remove from heat, add Ultra Gel, and whisk until thickened.
