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!
