A sweet and spicy chili pineapple sauce that adds a tropical kick to grilled meats, seafood, and stir-fries.

In a large heavy-bottomed pan, combine the sugar, pineapple juice, vinegar, and salt. Bring the mixture to a boil.
Add the chili flakes and minced garlic. Continue to boil over medium heat for 5 minutes.

In a small bowl, mix the cornflour with cold water until smooth.
Reduce the heat to low and slowly stir the cornflour mixture into the pan, avoiding the formation of lumps.
Continue to cook on low heat until the sauce thickens to a desired consistency. Remember, the sauce will thicken further as it cools.
Once cooled, transfer the sauce to a sterilized bottle and refrigerate.
Storage: Keep the sauce refrigerated in a sterilized bottle. Use as needed to add a sweet and spicy kick to your dishes!
