Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 can (20 ounces) Crushed pineapple (with juice)
- 0.5 cup Raisins
- 0.5 cup Brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons Apple cider vinegar
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground nutmeg
- 1 tablespoon Cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons Water
Instructions
In a medium saucepan, combine the crushed pineapple (with its juice), raisins, and brown sugar.
Place the saucepan over medium heat and stir the mixture until the sugar dissolves.
Add the apple cider vinegar, ground cinnamon, and ground nutmeg to the saucepan. Stir well to combine all the flavors.
In a small bowl, whisk together the cornstarch and water to create a slurry.
Gradually pour the cornstarch slurry into the saucepan, stirring continuously to prevent lumps.
Continue to cook the sauce over medium heat, stirring frequently, until it thickens to your desired consistency. This should take about 5–7 minutes.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and let the sauce cool for a few minutes before serving.
Serve the pineapple raisin sauce warm over ham, pork, or vegetables, or store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
