Kids can help you make this tasty main dish. Served over rice, potatoes, or pasta, it makes a healthy alternative that most kids love!

Difficulty: Moderately Easy

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• weiners, 1 package
• unsweetened pineapple tidbits, 1 can
• soy sauce, 2 Tbsp
• vinegar, 1/4 Cup
• water, 1 Cup
• brown sugar, 1/3 Cup
• cornstarch, 1/4 Cup
• water (again), 1/3 Cup
• frying pan

1. Slice weiners lengthwise, so they are no longer round.* Chop weiner strips into about 8 pieces each.
   
   *This is important to reduce the choking hazard - weiners should always be sliced down the centre lengthwise!

2. In the frying pan, combine pineapple (with juice), 1 Cup water, vinegar, soy sauce, brown sugar, and weiners. Stir together.

3. On medium heat and stirring frequently, bring to a boil.
   
   While heating, mix cornstarch and 1/3 Cup water thoroughly, then set it aside.

4. Once weiner mixture is boiling, slowly pour cornstarch mixture into it, stirring constantly. Continue stirring until it returns to a boil and begins to thicken.

5. Remove from heat and spoon weiner mixture over rice, potatoes, or pasta.
