Captain D's Sweet and Sour Sauce Recipe

Captain D's Sweet and Sour Sauce is just the right addition to add a bit of mild tartness and sweetness to your meals!
This sauce is perfect for dipping or drizzling over your favorite dishes.
You'll need a jar of pineapple preserves, some prepared mustard, and horseradish to get started.
I like to use this sauce as a glaze as it forms such a tasty, sticky coating on grilled meats.
This sauce is so nice for dipping or drizzling over your favorite dishes.
