Instructions
In a mixing bowl or wide mouth jar add all the ingredients. Using an immersion blender blend the ingredients until they are somewhat smooth. How long you blend is really your preference. I don't mind a few lumps of pineapple in my sauce.
If you made this in a mixing bowl pour it into a sealed container. If you made this in a wide mouth jar put a lid on it and then store in the refrigerator overnight. The sauce is best after 8 hours in the fridge.
You can store this sauce in an air tight container or jar in the refrigerator for up to a month.
