Tuna Sweet and Sour

Got two cans of tuna and yearning for more than just a sammitch? Here ya go. It's not super authentic, but it's super tasty.

TUNA SWEET AND SOUR
1 cup pineapple chunks with juice
1 cup celery, thinly sliced
½ cup green pepper, thinly sliced
¼ cup pimiento, chopped
¼ cup vinegar
½ cup water
½ cup brown sugar
1 tablespoon soy sauce
2 - 3 drops Tabasco sauce
cornstarch and water slurry, to thicken
2 cans tuna, drained and flaked

In a medium saucepan, combine pineapple, celery, green pepper, pimiento, vinegar, water, brown sugar, soy sauce and Tabasco. Bring to a boil over medium heat until mixture bubbles. Stir about a tablespoon of cornstarch into a half cup of cold water and, stirring the hot mixture with a whisk, add just enough cornstarch/water slurry to thicken the mixture. Reduce heat to low and add tuna, gently heating through. Serve over rice or crisp chow mein noodles.

Makes about 6 servings.
