Pineapple Barbecue Sauce
This one is obvious for pork chops and ham, but don't let your imagination stop there. The sauce has many uses.
3/4 cup packed brown sugar
1 tsp ancho chili powder
1 tsp black pepper
1 tsp allspice
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp celery seeds
1/2 tsp ground cloves
1/2 tsp cayenne pepper
1/4 tsp ground mace or nutmeg
1/2 cup rice vinegar
1/2 cup honey
2 tsp soy sauce
1 bay leaf
28 oz ketchup
1 tsp liquid smoke
6 tsp pineapple juice concentrate
Mix all ingredients in a saucepan and bring to a simmer for 30 minutes. Check for a balance of sweet and sour. If too sweet, add vinegar. If too sour, add brown sugar. Add cayenne if desired and add salt to taste.
