Indulge in the taste of the tropics with our Hawaiian BBQ Sauce recipe! Combining the sweetness of pineapple, the tang of teriyaki, and a hint of smoky flavor, this sauce is a perfect blend of island paradise and classic barbecue. Drizzle it over grilled meats or veggies for a taste sensation that will transport you to the sunny shores of Hawaii with every bite.
In a saucepan over medium heat, combine ketchup, pineapple juice, brown sugar, soy sauce, minced garlic, Worcestershire sauce, rice wine vinegar, smoked paprika, sesame oil, ground ginger, and cayenne pepper.
Bring the mixture to a simmer, stirring occasionally to ensure all ingredients are well incorporated.
Reduce the heat to low and let the sauce gently simmer for about 10-15 minutes, allowing it to thicken slightly.
Taste the sauce and season with salt and pepper according to your preference.
Once the sauce reaches your desired consistency, remove it from the heat and allow it to cool before using. Serve as a glaze for grilled meats, a dipping sauce, or a marinade for your favorite dishes.
