From Jenn over at I hate whine
She has pics on her site so click if you want to see them :)

Sweet and Sour Sauce :

1/4 cup Soy Sauce

1/4 cup Vinegar

2 cups Ketchup

2 cups Water

1 1/3 cups Brown Sugar

Add as much or as little chopped onion as you like.

Add as much garlic powder as you like .

I'll be honest I never ever follow this, I use the list to make sure I don't forget anything . However I just eyeball it for everything , sometimes it's a little more red and sometimes it's a little darker !

All of my kids love it, and for years my daughter would never eat rice unless it was like this. As far as the meatballs , just make them however you usually do .
