Pineapple BBQ sauce is a spicy barbecue sauce with a sweet and sour flavor profile and a tropical pineapple flavor. It often mixes sweet and somewhat acidic tones of pineapple with the smokey and savory components of standard BBQ sauce.
This unusual mixture gives a variety of foods a light and distinctive flavor. I got this recipe from my mother, who taught me how to use pineapple BBQ sauce to enhance the flavors of our meals when I was a child.
Pineapple BBQ sauce was a go-to condiment and marinade for my mom. Before grilling or baking, she would liberally spread it on the chicken. As the sauce cooks, it caramelizes, resulting in a delectable coating that is both sweet and savory.
In addition to flavoring the meat, the pineapple BBQ sauce also makes it more soft. The wonderful smoky-sweet flavor from grilling these skewers was a delight for the entire family. In addition, my mother frequently served grilled veggies with pineapple BBQ sauce as a dipping sauce, creating a pleasant flavor contrast.
It was also excellent as a burger topper, giving an American staple a touch of the tropics. My favorite combination was meatballs with pineapple BBQ sauce. Here’s my mother’s pineapple BBQ sauce recipe:
