Chef’s Secret

For a quick, tangy glaze, mix pineapple juice concentrate with a touch of soy sauce and ginger, then reduce slightly over heat.

Substitutions

Best Match

Frozen Pineapple Juice

1:1 (after thawing)

Closest flavor and acidity profile, just requires reconstitution.

Fresh Pineapple Juice

1:1 (for flavor, adjust for concentration)

Best fresh flavor, but less concentrated, requiring more volume for equivalent intensity.

Orange Juice Concentrate

1:1

Offers similar sweetness and acidity, but a different citrus-fruit flavor profile.

Mango Puree

1:1

Provides tropical sweetness and thick texture, but lacks the tartness and specific pineapple flavor.
