Ingredients
- 8 ounces crushed pineapple in natural juice (do not drain)
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1/4 cup red plum preserves
- 1/2 cup bottled sweet and sour sauce
Instructions
- Place the crushed pineapple with its juice, sugar, red plum preserves, and sweet and sour sauce in a saucepan over low to medium-low heat and simmer for 20 to 25 minutes, stirring frequently, until the sauce thickens slightly.
- Serve warm or chilled with coconut shrimp, chicken nuggets, or your favorite fried appetizers.
Recipe Tips
- This sauce benefits from at least 30 minutes of chilling before serving. The brief rest gives the flavors time to blend, and the sauce tastes noticeably more cohesive after sitting in the refrigerator than it does immediately after mixing.
- If the sauce looks thicker than expected, stir in a small amount of additional sweet and sour sauce to loosen it. If it looks thinner than expected, the preserves may have a higher liquid content than usual; stir in a small additional amount of preserves to compensate.
- The sauce can also be served warm as a glaze. Warm it gently in a small saucepan over low heat and brush it over grilled shrimp or chicken during the last few minutes of cooking.
