How to Make Hawaiian Sauce For Ham Or Chicken
- If using for chicken, substitute 1 (20 ounce) can of pineapple chunks for the crushed pineapple.
- Strain the juice from one (20 ounce) can of crushed pineapple, reserving the juice.
- In a medium saucepan, combine the reserved pineapple juice (from one 20 ounce can), two (6 ounce) cans of pineapple juice, 1/2 cup granulated sugar, and 1/4 cup brown sugar.
- Bring the mixture to a simmer over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the sugars dissolve.
- In a small bowl, whisk together 2 tablespoons of cornstarch and 2 tablespoons of cold water until smooth.
- Gradually whisk the cornstarch slurry into the simmering pineapple mixture. Continue stirring until the sauce thickens to your desired consistency (about 1-2 minutes).
- Stir in the 20 ounce can of crushed pineapple (or pineapple chunks for chicken) and 1 (15 ounce) can of cherry pie filling, including the cherry juice.
- Heat through gently for 2-3 minutes. Do not boil.
- Transfer the glaze to a gravy boat and serve warm over your cooked ham or chicken.
