Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups Pineapple (fresh or canned, drained)
- 0.5 cup White onion
- 2 cloves Garlic cloves
- 0.25 cup Apple cider vinegar
- 0.25 cup Brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons Tomato paste
- 1 tablespoon Soy sauce
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground allspice
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground ginger
- 0.25 teaspoon Crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 cup Water
- 1 tablespoon Neutral oil (e.g., vegetable oil)
Instructions
Peel and roughly chop the pineapple if using fresh, or drain canned pineapple. Dice the onion and peel the garlic cloves.
Heat the oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add the onion and garlic, and sauté for 3–4 minutes until fragrant and softened.
Add the pineapple to the saucepan and stir well. Cook for another 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the pineapple begins to break down and release its juices.
Stir in the apple cider vinegar, brown sugar, tomato paste, soy sauce, ground allspice, ground ginger, red pepper flakes (if using), and salt. Mix until fully combined.
Pour in the water and bring the mixture to a simmer. Lower the heat and cook for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the mixture thickens slightly.
Remove the saucepan from heat and allow the mixture to cool slightly. Transfer it to a blender or use an immersion blender to purée until smooth. Be careful when blending hot liquids—work in batches if necessary.
Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. If the ketchup is too thick for your liking, add a tablespoon of water at a time until you reach your desired consistency.
Once smooth, transfer the pineapple ketchup to a jar or airtight container. Allow it to cool to room temperature before sealing and refrigerating.
Store in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks and enjoy it as a versatile condiment!
