How to Make Polynesian Sauce
- Drain one 20-ounce can of pineapple chunks, reserving 1/2 cup of the juice.
- Add enough water to the reserved pineapple juice to reach 1 cup.
- In a medium saucepan, whisk together the pineapple juice mixture, 1/2 cup ketchup, 1/4 cup white vinegar, 2 tablespoons cornstarch, 1/4 cup packed brown sugar, 2 tablespoons soy sauce, 1 beef bouillon cube (or 1 teaspoon beef bouillon granules), and 1/4 teaspoon ground red pepper.
- Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the sauce thickens and comes to a gentle boil. Reduce heat to low and simmer for 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally, to allow the sauce to fully thicken.
- Gently stir in the drained pineapple chunks. Serve immediately over your favorite cocktail meatballs.
