Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup finely chopped fresh pineapple (or canned in juice)
  • 1 cup ketchup
  • 1/4 cup packed brown sugar (light or dark)
  • 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
  • 2 tbsp soy sauce
  • 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp onion powder
  • 1/4 tsp fine sea salt
  • Pinch of cayenne pepper (optional)

Method
 

  1. Place a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add all the ingredients and stir until combined.
  2. Bring to a gentle bubble, then reduce heat to low. Simmer, stirring occasionally, for about 15 minutes, until the sauce reduces by a third and coats the back of a spoon.
  3. Remove from heat. Blend with an immersion blender until smooth, or leave chunky if you prefer.
  4. Pour the sauce into a clean jar or container. Cool to room temperature, then cover and refrigerate.

Notes

The sauce thickens noticeably as it cools, so take it off the heat when it’s still slightly thinner than you want the final texture. For the best flavor, make it a day before you plan to serve it.
