Ingredients:

  • ½ cup (120 ml) Pineapple Juice
  • ½ cup (120 ml) White Vinegar
  • ½ cup (100 g) Granulated White Sugar
  • 2 tablespoons (30 ml) Ketchup
  • 2 tablespoons (30 ml) Soy Sauce, low-sodium preferred
  • 1 tablespoon (15 ml) Cornstarch
  • 1 tablespoon (15 ml) Water
  • 1 clove Garlic, minced
  • ½ teaspoon Ginger, freshly grated
  • Pinch of Red Pepper Flakes (optional)

Instructions:

  1. In the saucepan, whisk together the pineapple juice, white vinegar, sugar, ketchup, and soy sauce.
  2. In a small bowl, whisk together the cornstarch and water until smooth.
  3. Stir in the minced garlic, grated ginger, and red pepper flakes (if using) to the saucepan.
  4. Bring the mixture to a simmer over medium heat, stirring occasionally.
  5. Slowly pour the cornstarch slurry into the simmering sauce, whisking constantly to prevent lumps.
  6. Continue to simmer, stirring frequently, until the sauce thickens to your desired consistency (about 2-3 minutes).
  7. Taste the sauce and adjust the sweetness or sourness by adding a little more sugar or vinegar as needed.
  8. Remove from heat and let the sauce cool slightly before using or storing.
