Ingredients

• 1 cup Pineapple juice
• 0.25 cup Apple cider vinegar
• 0.33 cup Brown sugar
• 3 tablespoons Ketchup
• 0.5 teaspoons Garlic powder
• 0.25 teaspoons Salt
• 1 tablespoon Cornstarch
• 2 tablespoons Cold water

Directions

Step 1

In a medium saucepan, combine the pineapple juice, apple cider vinegar, brown sugar, ketchup, garlic powder, and salt. Whisk well to combine.

Step 2

Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a gentle boil, stirring occasionally to dissolve the sugar.

Step 3

In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch and cold water until it forms a smooth slurry.

Step 4

Once the sauce is boiling, reduce the heat to low and slowly whisk in the cornstarch slurry. Continue stirring until the sauce thickens to your desired consistency, about 1-2 minutes.

Step 5

Remove from heat and let the sauce cool slightly before serving. It will thicken further as it cools.

Step 6

Store leftover sauce in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week. Reheat gently on the stovetop or in the microwave if needed.
