ingredients

1 lb chorizo sausage (Your favorite brand)
1 lb Italian sausage (Sweet or Spicy)
Sauce
1 green bell pepper
1 red bell pepper
1 medium vidalia onion
1 ¹⁄₂ cups ketchup
1 (12 ounce) can pineapple chunks (DO NOT discard juice!)
¹⁄₂ cup pineapple juice (juice from can should be fine)
¹⁄₂ cup brown sugar
6 tablespoons vegetable oil

directions

Cook sausages according to instructions. Set aside. (okay to let cool while making sauce).
Parboil the bell peppers by rinsing them and then placing the wet peppers on a glass plate on high heat in the microwave for 2-3 minutes.
Once cool enough to handle, chop peppers into 1/2 in chunks.
Slice the onion into rings. (Or chop).
Heat oil in a Dutch oven, large skillet or large sauce pan.
Add the peppers and onion and sauté until soft.
Add the ketchup, sugar, pineapples and juice.
Stir and bring mixture to boil.
Turn heat down low and simmer for 20 minutes.
(NOTE: At first mixture will taste more like ketchup. As mixture continues to cook, it will taste more like traditional sweet 'n sour sauce. Patience is a must!).
***NOTE: If sauce is still lacking sweet 'n sour flavor, add a little more pineapple juice and a little more brown sugar-- NOT TOO MUCH).
Chop the sausages into 1/2 inch pieces. Add to sauce.
Stir and cook for remaining 10 minutes. (NOTE: As sausage reheats, the flavors from the sausage will blend in with the sweet 'n sour sauce, giving it a unique taste.
Serve over rice. ENJOY!
