Whip up this glossy sweet and sour sauce in minutes using your blender. Pineapple juice concentrate, brown sugar, vinegar, and green pepper make a thick, tangy glaze for roasted or broiled meats.

This is the sauce that turns a plain pork chop into something you’d brag about. Pineapple juice concentrate brings concentrated tropical sweetness, brown sugar adds caramel depth, and vinegar cuts right through with a sharp tang.

Toss everything in the blender, give it a whirl, and cook it down on the stove until it goes thick and glossy. The whole thing takes about 15 minutes.

Brush it on chicken, ribs, or pork during the last few minutes of cooking and watch it caramelize into a sticky, lacquered finish that looks like it came from a restaurant kitchen.

Chef Tips

  • Brush the sauce on meat only during the final minutes of cooking so the sugars caramelize without burning
  • Double the batch and store extras in the fridge for up to a week
  • Try it as a dipping sauce for egg rolls or fried wontons
