Yep....what I do is place sugar in measuring cup to the 1/4 cup mark, then add vinegar until the combination is
at the 1/4 cup mark again....this is my proven method of getting the correct balance for a sweet and sour
sauce......if I require more, I go to half with sugar then follow the same procedure, bring the sugar back to
half, with vinegar. As long as the sugar and vinegar together measure either the 1/4 mark or the 1/2 mark, then
for our taste, the sweet and sour is in balance. As you are the third one who asked, I think I will post this to
the list as well. Thanks for the accolade! Cheers, Doug in BC
