Pineapple Jalapeño BBQ Sauce

 Ingredients:

• 1 cup pineapple juice (fresh or canned)
• 1/2 cup ketchup
• 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
• 2 tablespoons brown sugar
• 1-2 jalapeños, seeded and finely chopped (adjust for heat preference)
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
• 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
• 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Directions:

1. In a medium saucepan, combine pineapple juice, ketchup, apple cider vinegar, and brown sugar. Stir well to dissolve the sugar.
2. Add finely chopped jalapeños, minced garlic, Worcestershire sauce, smoked paprika, cumin, salt, and black pepper. Mix to combine.
3. Bring the mixture to a simmer over medium heat, stirring frequently.
4. Reduce heat to low and let the sauce simmer gently for 20-25 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it thickens slightly.
5. Remove from heat and let cool. For a smoother sauce, blend with an immersion blender or regular blender until desired consistency is reached.
6. Transfer to a jar or bottle and refrigerate. Use within 2 weeks.
