Beef Stew

Sweet and sour sauces come in many varieties. The sweet part can be from sugar, brown sugar, molasses, corn syrup, sweet fruits like pineapple, peaces or apricots, and more. This recipe uses honey. If you wanted to go completely sugar-free you could probably use Stevia. The sour part most often comes as vinegar or lemon juice but there are plenty of other sour fruits that could be used. I chose lemon juice because it seems to do better in my digestive system than vinegar. Feel free to modify this recipe to your own tastes and preferences.

This one turned out great and made two plus meals for the two of us. I served it over rice, but it could be served as it comes out of the crock-pot.
