Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup pineapple juice
- 0.33 cup brown sugar
- 0.25 cup vinegar (white or rice vinegar)
- 0.25 cup ketchup
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons water
- 1 clove garlic (minced)
Instructions
In a medium saucepan, combine pineapple juice, brown sugar, vinegar, ketchup, and soy sauce. Whisk the ingredients well to combine.
Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, stirring occasionally.
In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch with water to make a slurry.
Once the sauce is simmering, slowly pour the cornstarch slurry into the saucepan while whisking continuously to avoid clumps.
Add the minced garlic to the sauce and continue cooking, stirring occasionally, until the sauce thickens to your desired consistency (approximately 3-5 minutes).
Remove the sauce from heat and allow it to cool slightly before serving.
Use as a dipping sauce for appetizers, a glaze for grilled meat, or a flavorful addition to stir-fries.
