Sweet and Sour Wrap-Ups

I received this recipe from my mother-in-law and it is always a hit at parties & Bunko!! It is easy to make....just a little time consuming to wrap up all of the water chestnuts. I usually double the amount of wraps that I make and it works well with the amount of sauce. I make a full 11 x 14 dish of wraps and then bake them for 30 minutes. I take the cooked wraps out of the oven and put them into a crockpot. Then cook the sauce in a saucepan until bubbling...pour sauce over the wraps and mix together. Then set the crockpot on low heat to keep warm. Yummy!!
