Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Pineapple juice
- 1 cup Ketchup
- 0.75 cup Brown sugar
- 0.25 cup Soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons Apple cider vinegar
- 1 teaspoon Fresh ginger, grated
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons Honey
- 1 teaspoon Sriracha or chili sauce (optional, for heat)
- 1 tablespoon Cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons Water
Instructions
In a medium-sized saucepan, combine the pineapple juice, ketchup, brown sugar, soy sauce, apple cider vinegar, grated fresh ginger, minced garlic, honey, and sriracha or chili sauce (if using).
Place the saucepan over medium heat and stir the mixture until the ingredients are well combined.
Bring the sauce to a simmer, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking or burning, and allow it to cook for about 10 minutes.
In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch with water to create a slurry.
Slowly pour the cornstarch slurry into the simmering sauce, whisking continuously to prevent lumps.
Continue simmering the sauce for an additional 3-5 minutes, or until it thickens to your desired consistency.
Remove the sauce from heat and let it cool slightly before serving.
The Hawaiian BBQ sauce can be used immediately or stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
