Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup pineapple chunks fresh or canned
  • ½ cup orange juice fresh squeezed preferred
  • 2 tbsp soy sauce for savory balance
  • 2 tbsp honey or brown sugar
  • 1 tbsp rice vinegar or apple cider vinegar
  • 1 garlic clove minced

  1. In a saucepan, combine pineapple chunks, orange juice, soy sauce, honey, vinegar, garlic, and ginger.
