Ingredients

• 1 cup pineapple juice
• 0.5 cup mango puree
• 0.5 cup ketchup
• 2 tablespoons soy sauce
• 2 tablespoons honey
• 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
• 3 tablespoons brown sugar
• 1 teaspoon fresh ginger, grated
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 0.5 teaspoon chili flakes
• 0.25 cup coconut milk
• 1 tablespoon lime juice
• 1 teaspoon cornstarch
• 2 tablespoons water

Directions

Step 1

In a medium saucepan, combine pineapple juice, mango puree, ketchup, soy sauce, honey, apple cider vinegar, and brown sugar. Stir well to combine.

Step 2

Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, stirring occasionally.

Step 3

Add the grated ginger, minced garlic, and chili flakes. Stir thoroughly and let the sauce simmer for 10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.

Step 4

Reduce the heat to low and stir in the coconut milk. Let it cook for an additional 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Step 5

In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch with water to create a slurry. Gradually add this slurry to the saucepan while stirring constantly to thicken the sauce to your desired consistency.

Step 6

Once thickened, remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the lime juice for a fresh, tangy finish.

Step 7

Allow the sauce to cool slightly before transferring it to a jar or airtight container. Store in the refrigerator for up to two weeks.

Step 8

Use this sauce as a glaze for grilling or as a dipping sauce for your favorite tropical-inspired dishes.
