Ingredients
- 1 cup Pineapple juice (preferably fresh)
- 0.33 cup Brown sugar
- 3 tablespoons Ketchup
- 3 tablespoons Rice vinegar
- 2 teaspoons Soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon Fresh ginger (grated)
- 2 cloves Garlic (minced)
- 1 tablespoon Cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons Water
- 0.25 cup Diced pineapple (optional, for texture)
Directions
Step 1
In a medium-sized saucepan, combine the pineapple juice, brown sugar, ketchup, rice vinegar, soy sauce, grated ginger, and minced garlic. Stir well to blend the ingredients.
Step 2
Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer. Stir frequently to ensure the sugar dissolves completely.
Step 3
In a small bowl, whisk together the cornstarch and water to create a slurry. Slowly pour the slurry into the saucepan, stirring constantly to thicken the sauce.
Step 4
Continue cooking the sauce while stirring for 3-5 minutes, or until it reaches your desired consistency.
Step 5
If using diced pineapple for texture, gently fold it into the sauce during the last minute of cooking.
Step 6
Remove the sauce from heat and allow it to cool slightly before serving. Use it as a dip, drizzle, or accompaniment for your favorite dishes.
Step 7
Store any leftover sauce in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
