Want to take a very decisive step toward health?
Ditch those MSG, rancid vegetable oil, additive filled dressings and sauces from the store and start making your own!
No bottled sauces or dressings compare to the flavor and quality of homemade salad dressings and sauces – even the organic brands. Not only will you be doing your health a huge favor by taking this step, but you will be saving quite a bit of money too!Â

Homemade Sweet and Sour Sauce Recipe
Easy recipe for sweet and sour sauce that you can make in minutes to serve with a homecooked chicken dinner. Great for dipping or poured over grilled chicken breasts.
Ingredients
- 1 cup ketchup preferably homemade or organic
- 1/4 cup raw apple cider vinegar
- 1/4 cup maple syrup
Instructions
-
Mix all the ingredients well in a small glass bowl.
-
Serve immediately.
-
Refrigerate leftovers.
Recipe Notes
Substitute date syrup instead of maple syrup if a GAPS legal, fruit sweetened dressing is needed.
Be sure the ACV you use comes in glass containers. The acidity of ACV will leach toxins if stored in plastic.
For example, while Bragg raw ACV is excellent, do not buy the gallon size which comes in plastic. Stick with 1 liter glass bottles for this brand.

What a great video! I keep all of these sauces in my fridge AT ALL TIMES and love the idea of combining for sweet and sour and barbeque! If I am making a roast with bbq sauce, would you recommend using homemade (and killing the enzymes) or buying organic? I usually feel like it is a waste to heat up anything (milk, cheese, cream, all condiments and dressings) as I put whey and ferment most everything but I suppose losing some of the enzymes is still better than starting out with a junky loaded product to begin with?
Sarah, TheHealthyHomeEconomist
Better to heat the one you made yourself and lose the enzymes than buy the junky store stuff as you said. I’m very disappointed even with the organic bottled offerings.

Thank you for doing this. I especially liked going back to see how to make whey and cream cheese as I’ve recently found a source for raw milk.
