How to Make Pineapple Raisin Sauce

  1. In a medium bowl, whisk together 1/2 cup granulated sugar, 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard, and 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour until well combined.
  2. In a medium saucepan, combine 1 (20 ounce) can crushed pineapple (undrained), 1 cup raisins, 1/2 cup apple cider vinegar, 1/4 cup brown sugar, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, 1/2 teaspoon ground cloves, and 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg.
  3. Add the dry ingredients (sugar, mustard, and flour mixture) to the saucepan. Stir well to combine.
  4. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce heat to low, and simmer gently for 5-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until slightly thickened.
  5. In a small bowl, whisk together 2 tablespoons cornstarch and 2 tablespoons cold water until smooth.
  6. Gradually whisk the cornstarch slurry into the simmering sauce. Continue to cook for 2-3 minutes, or until the sauce has reached your desired thickness. Remove from heat and let cool slightly before serving.
