Notes

Substitute turkey or pork smokies for a different flavor. Use fresh pineapple chunks with extra juice if preferred. Sweeten with honey or maple syrup instead of brown sugar. Add diced bell peppers or chopped cilantro before serving for extra color and freshness. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge up to 4 days or freeze up to 2 months. Reheat gently and stir to restore sauce consistency.
