How to Make Pineapple Raisin Sauce

  1. In a medium saucepan, whisk together 1/2 cup packed brown sugar, 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard, 1 teaspoon ground ginger, and 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves until the mustard is well incorporated with the sugar.
  2. Add 2 cups drained canned pineapple chunks (or 4 cups diced fresh pineapple), 1/2 cup diced yellow onion, and 1/2 cup raisins to the saucepan.
  3. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat. Then, reduce heat to medium-low and simmer for 10-15 minutes, or until the sauce has slightly thickened.
  4. In a small bowl, whisk together 2 tablespoons cornstarch and 2 tablespoons cold water until smooth. Gradually whisk the cornstarch slurry into the simmering sauce.
  5. Continue to simmer for 8-10 minutes, or until the sauce has reached your desired consistency. Stir frequently to prevent sticking.
  6. Serve warm over your favorite pork or chicken dish. Enjoy!
