Ingredients

  • 1 cup crushed pineapple (with juice)
  • 1/4 cup rice vinegar or white vinegar
  • 1/3 cup granulated or brown sugar
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/2 to 1 teaspoon red chili flakes (adjust to taste)
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 2 tablespoons water

Instructions

  1. In a saucepan over medium heat, combine crushed pineapple with juice, vinegar, sugar, garlic, chili flakes, and salt.
  2. Stir well and bring to a simmer. Let simmer for 5–7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until garlic softens and flavors meld.
  3. In a small bowl, whisk together cornstarch and water to form a slurry.
  4. Slowly add the slurry to the simmering sauce while stirring constantly.
  5. Continue to cook for 1–2 more minutes until the sauce thickens to desired consistency.
  6. Remove from heat and let cool slightly before serving or storing. It will thicken more as it cools.

Notes

  • Adjust chili flakes to control the heat level.
  • Use brown sugar for deeper flavor or lime juice for extra brightness.
  • Blend the sauce for a smoother texture, if desired.
  • Add water or pineapple juice to thin if it becomes too thick after chilling.
