Pineapple Sauce has the best flavours of the tropical fruit. Drizzle it on a scoop of ice-cream, crushed ice or smother it on ham for the main course. It is supremely easy to make this sauce at home. Therefore, read my recipe and get going to make it soon, folks! Here is how to make Pineapple Sauce.

After mango, pineapple is one of my favourite summer fruits. Hence, as soon as summer sets, along with using mangoes in a lot of  my recipes, I try to use pineapple too.

There are many different recipes that can be made from pineapple apart from just the beverages. From Pineapple Pachadi, Farali Pineapple Curry, Thai Pineapple Fried Rice, Sesame Pineapple Stir Fry till Pineapple Basundi, you can whisk up anything from this versatile fruit including this easy Pineapple Sauce.

Be it desserts, snacks or main course, we all want them to be simple to make but fabulous nevertheless. Well, this fresh pineapple sauce made from fresh pineapple, sugar, lemon juice and corn-starch is surely a novelty to try then! You may use it as a glaze for pork, for chicken, and even for shrimp as well. Moreover, it goes really well in the combo of Coconut Shrimp.

Also, it is great to use this Pineapple Sauce for Ham. And do you know that this Sweet and Sour Sauce with Pineapple can be served with tofu, grilled veggies, cheese and paneer as well, eh?

Most importantly, just like Mango Chilli BBQ Sauce , Mango Chilli Sauce , this sweet and sour sauce with Pineapple is easy to make yet very awesome to taste. It is perfectly spicy, sweet and tart. But, the best thing is that it gets ready by 15 minutes by stirring occasionally on a medium heat.

The store-bought pineapple sauce is often too thick and has a namesake flavour of pineapple. However, at home, apart from using loads of fresh pineapple, you can add brown sugar, pineapple juice and lemon juice. Finally bring it to boil and cook and stir to reach the desired thickness. Hence, any day, make this tasty pineapple sauce at home.

Use it as an ice-cream topper this summer or make tropical meals from it. Here’s how to make this super easy sauce at home:
