This Paleo Whole30 Sweet and Sour Sauce is so delicious, easy, and the perfect balance of sweet and savory. Sweetened only with fruit and made in less than 30 minutes- you will love it!
This sauce is so good! I recently made it specially for Paleo Egg Roll in a Bowl, but I've also used it for Sweet and Sour Chicken and it's amazing like that too. It's completely sweetened with fruit and is the perfect balance of sweet and savory.
You will love how easy it is- all the ingredients are added to one pan, cooked then blended.
This isn't quite as smooth as the store bought version, but that can easily be changed by adding more water when blending it. We kind of like a little thick with texture- it's personal preference though!
It's delicious, it's easy, and it's a sauce I know I'll be making over and over! I think you'll love it, too!
Here are a few other Whole30 sauces that are popular- Paleo Ketchup, Paleo Mayo, and Paleo Ranch.

Paleo Whole30 Sweet and Sour Sauce
Ingredients
- 1 large onion, diced
- coconut oil for cooking- about 1 tablespoon
- 3 cloves garlic diced
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon pepper
- ½-3/4 cup water or bone broth

- ¼ cup tomato paste
- 2 tablespoons coconut aminos
- 2 dates
Instructions
- In a medium sauce pan, cook onion in coconut oil until tender- about 5 minutes.

I freeze this in silicone muffin cups and pop into a freezer bag once frozen. Perfect amount for individual servings and lasts for months.
