Step 1

In a saucepan over medium heat, combine the chopped pineapple, water, white vinegar, honey, soy sauce, minced ginger, and garlic. Allow the mixture to come to a gentle simmer, infusing your kitchen with its tantalizing aroma.

Step 2

Reduce the heat and let the mixture simmer for approximately 10 minutes, or until the pineapple becomes tender and releases its natural juices, enhancing the sauce’s sweetness.

Step 3

In a small bowl, create a slurry by dissolving cornstarch in 2 tablespoons of water. Gently stir the slurry into the simmering sauce, allowing it to thicken gradually.

Step 4

Sprinkle in the red chili flakes to introduce a delightful hint of heat to the sauce. Adjust the amount according to your preference for spiciness.

Step 5

Don’t forget to add a pinch of salt to balance the flavors and elevate the taste profile of your Sweet Chili Pineapple Sauce.

Step 6

Let the sauce simmer for an additional 5 minutes, allowing all the flavors to meld together harmoniously. Remove it from the heat and allow it to cool. As it cools, the sauce will naturally thicken to a perfect consistency.

Step 7

This mouthwatering Sweet Chili Pineapple Sauce is now ready to be savored! Drizzle it over your favorite grilled meats, use it as a dipping sauce for appetizers, or incorporate it into stir-fries for an extra burst of flavor.
