Filipino Sweet and Sour Sauce
This Filipino sweet and sour sauce goes great with lumpia and I'm sure any other fry stuff you want to dip in it. When I first made it I thought it tasted a bit too much like ketchup, but by the next day the flavors had melded and it was great. I followed the recipe pretty much exactly.
