Quick & Easy Pineapple Sauce for Honey Baked Ham
Wanda and elindra, you were talking about ham and sauce. Well, I remember one year, SL threw a Christmas party and somehow, the sauce for the ham was missing. So, I asked her mom for a can of pineapple rings / cubs and drained it, threw the juice into a saucepan and simmered it, adding cornflour to thicken it, and voila! ... last-minute pineapple sauce!
Recently, read a modified and better version of this pineapple sauce in a local food mag - Eat!, I think.
Empty one can of pineapple rings / cubes into the saucepan. (You might want to cut the pineapple into bite-size pieces first. ). Simmer slowly. Add a stick of cinnamon. (I would suggest adding grated ginger too cause gut feeling says it'll all go well. ) Bring to the boil. Add sugar, if needed. Add cornflour to thicken the sauce. Voila!
I would suggest adding brown sugar to give it a good golden colour. You may also want to consider getting a can of Ligo's Pineapple in its own natural juice for the added pineapple flavour.
Hey, we might as well start a new thread on Christmas recipes! -
