Ingredients

1 tbsp. olive oil
1 jumbo onion
2 tbsp. peeled and chopped fresh ginger
3 tbsp. chili powder
3 clove garlic
1 can crushed pineapple in juice
1 can crushed tomatoes in puree
1/3 c. ketchup
1/4 c. cider vinegar
3 tbsp. dark brown sugar
3 tbsp. mild molasses
2 tsp. dry mustard
1 tsp. salt

Instructions

In 5- to 6-quart saucepot, heat olive oil over medium heat until hot. (Do not use a smaller pan; sauce bubbles up and splatters during cooking — the deeper the pan, the better.) Add onion and ginger and cook 10 minutes or until onion is tender and golden. Add chili powder and cook 1 minute, stirring. Add garlic and crushed pineapple with its juice, and cook 1 minute longer.
Remove saucepot from heat. Stir in tomatoes with their puree and remaining ingredients.
Spoon 1/4 of sauce into blender. At low speed, blend sauce until smooth. Pour sauce into bowl; repeat with remaining sauce. Return sauce to saucepot; heat to boiling over high heat. Reduce heat to medium-low and cook, partially covered, 25 minutes or until reduced to about 4 3/4 cups, stirring occasionally.
Cover and refrigerate sauce if not using right away. Sauce will keep up to 1 week in refrigerator or up to 2 months in freezer.
