Time 45m

Yield about 1 cup

Number Of Ingredients 6

1/2 cup canned crushed pineapple (do not drain)
Freshly cracked black pepper
1/2 cup store-bought BBQ sauce
1/4 cup gochujang
2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
1/4 cup finely chopped fresh cilantro

Steps:

In a medium saucepot on medium heat, add the pineapple and plenty of coarse freshly cracked black pepper. Cook, stirring frequently, until the pineapple begins to bubble and brown a bit, about 20 minutes. Add the BBQ sauce, gochujang and vinegar and whisk to combine. If the mixture is too loose, cook down to a thicker consistency; if it is too thick, add a splash of water to loosen, but no more than 1/4 cup.
Let the sauce cool. When close to room temperature, stir in the cilantro.
