Mama's Famous Wontons with Sweet & Sour Sauce

The kids beg for these...sometime more often than I wish since they are a lot of work...but always worth it!!

1-2 packages store bought wonton wrappers
About 1/2 lb. hamburger
1 small bag baby carrots
Garlic powder/salt
Black Pepper
Salt/Seasoned Salt
Soy Sauce
Oil

Since I do this one mainly by taste and texture, I'll try to give good directions here as best I can! Cook hamburger...I just do this in the microwave. Cook carrots in boiling water. Drain. Add carrots (not all...or to your liking) to cooked hamburger in a food processor. Add a few splashes of soy sauce and spices to taste or liking. Process mixture until it well blended.

Set out wonton wrapper. Place a dollop of mixture in the middle. Brush edges of wrapper with water and fold over and seal edges. Fry wontons in hot oil until lightly browned on both sides. Drain on paper towels or paper bags.

Sweet and Sour Sauce

1/4 c. vinegar
3/4 c. white sugar
1/4 c. pineapple juice
3/4 TBSP. soy sauce
2 TBSP. cornstarch
2 TBSP. ketchup

Mix cornstarch and pineapple juice in a bowl with a wooded spoon. Meanwhile, mix vinegar, sugar, soy sauce and ketchup in a saucepan and heat to boiling. Add juice mixture and cook until thickened.
