How to Make Caribbean Ginger Pepper Sauce

  1. In a medium saucepan, whisk together 1 teaspoon salt, 1 tablespoon cornstarch, 2 tablespoons sugar, 1/4 cup lime juice, and 1/2 cup pineapple juice until completely smooth.
  2. In a separate bowl, combine 1 cup water, 2 tablespoons soy sauce, 1 tablespoon grated fresh ginger, 1 finely chopped jalapeño pepper (remove seeds for less heat), and 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper.
  3. Gradually whisk the water mixture into the saucepan, stirring constantly to prevent lumps.
  4. Cook over medium heat, stirring continuously, until the sauce thickens and becomes translucent, about 8-10 minutes.
  5. Remove from heat and stir in 1/2 cup pineapple chunks, 2 tablespoons dry white wine, and 2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro.
  6. Serve immediately over your favorite grilled fish or chicken. Enjoy the tropical heat!
