Notes

  • Recipe Tips
  • Sauce will keep for up to a week when stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
  • A serving size is ~2 tablespoons of sauce.
  • Save time. Buy a bag of shredded coconut and a can of crushed pineapple.
  • Pay attention. There can be lots of extra sugar in canned pineapple, so get one in juice, not syrup.
  • Make it early. You can leave this sauce in the fridge for a couple hours.
  • Stir it up. If it separates, simply give this sauce a good mix before serving.
  • Get creative. This tropical dipping sauce is delicious on tacos and burgers, too.
