Ingredients
Scale
Fresh or Canned Pineapple Sauce:
- 1½ cups fresh or canned pineapple chunks

Chili Pineapple Sauce:
- 1–2 tablespoons chili garlic sauce (adjust to heat preference)
- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar

Instructions
- Blend Ingredients: Add pineapple chunks, pineapple juice, chili garlic sauce, rice vinegar, soy sauce, and honey to a blender or food processor. Blend until smooth.
- Cook Sauce: Pour the mixture into a small saucepan and bring to a simmer over medium heat. Stir in the cornstarch slurry and cook for 2–3 minutes, stirring constantly, until the sauce thickens slightly.
