Ingredients
- 2 cups (diced) Fresh pineapple
- 0.5 cups Brown sugar
- 0.25 cups Water
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 1 tablespoons Cornstarch
- 0.25 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 1 pinch Salt
Directions
Step 1
In a medium saucepan, combine the diced pineapple, brown sugar, water, and a pinch of salt.
Step 2
Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking and ensure the sugar dissolves.
Step 3
After about 5 minutes, add the lemon juice and ground cinnamon. Stir well to incorporate the flavors.
Step 4
In a small bowl, whisk together the cornstarch and 2 tablespoons of water until smooth. Gradually add the cornstarch mixture to the saucepan while stirring continuously to thicken the sauce.
Step 5
Cook the sauce for an additional 3–5 minutes, allowing it to reach a glossy, syrupy consistency. Stir occasionally to prevent lumps.
Step 6
Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the vanilla extract.
Step 7
Allow the sauce to cool slightly before serving. It thickens further as it cools.
Step 8
Serve warm or at room temperature over ice cream, pancakes, waffles, or grilled meats. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
