You really have to ask your grandfather to be exact. The sweet and sour sauce is not the one I am used to. The one I am used to is red. The one I know is based on sugar (sweet), pineapple (sour), cornstarch (thickening). Here, I found a receipt from about.com which may work for you, I took the ketchup away from the original receipt because you want it to look dark:
* 1/3 cup white or rice vinegar (Note: rice vinegar gives better results, and dark vinegar will give a darker look)
* 4 tablespoons brown sugar
* 1 teaspoon soy sauce
* 2 teaspoons cornstarch mixed with 4 teaspoons water
