Notes
- Use canned crushed pineapple (drained) or fresh pineapple blended to a coarse texture;
- Swap apple cider vinegar with white vinegar, lemon, or lime juice.
- Adjust heat by skipping or reducing cayenne pepper; smoked paprika adds mild warmth without overpowering spice.
- Store in the fridge for up to 2 weeks or freeze for up to 4 months; thaw in the fridge or microwave.
- Reheat gently in a pan with a splash of water, stirring over low heat until desired consistency.
- Works as a glaze for meats, salmon, tofu, a marinade, dipping sauce, or salad drizzle.
