Sweet and Sour Sauce

I once had a recipe for sweet and sour sauce that used ONLY pineapple juice, white granulated sugar, white vinegar, corn starch and NOTHING ELSE. Does anyone know what the proportions are.

Turn off the television and teach your children how to think.

Someone has a recipe posted on Recipezaar.com which calls for these ingredients. The listed recipe also calls for salt, catsup and dry mustard, but you still might be able to make the proportions work in the recipe you remember.

Try 2 Tablespoons cornstarch, 1 cup pineapple juice, 1/4 cup vinegar and 1/3 cup sugar. Hope it works!
