Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup pineapple juice
- 3 Tbsp apple cider vinegar
- 1 Tbsp soy sauce
- 1/3 cup brown sugar
- 3 Tbsp corn starch
- 1 ½ Tbsp water
Instructions
- Combine the pineapple juice, vinegar, soy sauce and brown sugar in a small saucepan.
- Bring JUST to a low boil, whisking the ingredients every few minutes so the sugar dissolves thoroughly.
- In a mug, make a slurry with the corn starch and water. Add the slurry to the sauce while whisking quickly. Cook for one minute and then reduce the heat to low.
- Serve immediately, or refrigerate for later.
Notes
- Put light and fluffy dinner rolls on the menu the same week since it uses pineapple juice too. That way you won’t be left without a plan for leftovers.
- If you DO have some juice left, add it to a basic green smoothie, or any of the smoothies in my e-book High Protein No Powder!
