Pineapple BBQ Sauce

Homemade Pineapple BBQ Sauce is a quick and easy condiment you can whip up for your next BBQ party!

Ingredients

1 cup pineapple juice

4 tablespoons low sodium soy sauce

4 tablespoons tomato paste

2 tablespoons cornstarch

1 tablespoon molasses NOT blackstrap, they're too bitter

2 tablespoons honey

1 tablespoon sesame oil

1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce

1 teaspoon ground ginger

1 teaspoon dried garlic powder

1 cup finely diced pineapple OR canned crushed pineapple optional

Instructions

Whisk all ingredients together in a small saucepan (off the heat!) until smooth and no more lumps of cornstarch are visible. Stir in the pineapple chunks, if using.

Bring to a boil, whisking constantly. Then lower the heat to a simmer and cook, stirring, until the sauce has thickened to your liking.

If the sauce is too thick, add a little more pineapple juice. If the sauce is too thin whisk a little cornstarch into cold pineapple juice, then whisk this into the sauce and simmer until thickened enough. Do NOT add dry cornstarch directly into the hot sauce!

Pour into a clean jar while hot and allow to cool before closing with a tight-fitting lid and storing in the fridge.
