Pineapple Ginger Sesame Sauce

Betty K. Rocker's Note:

I wanted something different to top my pork chops for dinner one night. I created this from things I had on hand. My picky-eater son loved it! This sauce would be great on chicken tenders too. If I had fresh ginger, I would have minced up about a tablespoon and substituted it for the powdered version.
