Instructions 

  • Pour the crushed pineapple and juice into a saucepan.
  • In a small bowl, mix the corn starch with cold water until completely dissolved. Then, whisk this slurry into the pan with the pineapple, ensuring it combines well.
  • Sprinkle the white sugar into the pan, whisking continuously to dissolve the sugar thoroughly and avoid any dry spots.
  • Place the pan over medium heat, stirring constantly until the sugar dissolves into a smooth mixture.
  • Once the sugar has dissolved, turn up the heat to high, and bring your sauce to a rolling boil. It's crucial to keep whisking at this stage to prevent the sauce from scorching at the bottom.
  • Boil for 5 minutes, keeping your whisk moving to ensure even cooking.
  • Remove the pan from the heat, and allow it to cool to room temperature. This is where the sauce thickens up and melds all the flavors together beautifully.
  • Transfer the cooled sauce into a bowl or container and allow to cool down to room temperature.
  • Chill and store the pineapple sauce in the refrigerator until need. Keeps for about 2 weeks.

Recipe Expert Tips

  • Fresh crushed pineapple can be used in place of canned crushed pineapple.
  • Always mix corn starch with cold water.
  • A rolling boil is reached when the bubbles do not settle down while whisking or stirring.
  • Cooled and chilled fruit sauce will thicken more.
