How to Make Pine Ini Zucchini Pineapple Sauce Pineapple Lookalike

  1. Peel and grate 2 large zucchini (about 1 pound).
  2. In a large saucepan, combine the grated zucchini with 1/2 cup granulated sugar, 1/4 cup light brown sugar, 1/4 cup pineapple juice, 2 tablespoons lemon juice, 1 teaspoon ground ginger, and 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg.
  3. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat, stirring frequently.
  4. Reduce heat to low and simmer for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the zucchini is very soft and most of the liquid has evaporated. The mixture should thicken into a chunky sauce.
  5. Remove from heat and let cool completely. The sauce will continue to thicken as it cools.
  6. Taste and adjust sweetness as needed. You can add more sugar if desired.
  7. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
