Pineapple-Raisin Sauce

Submitted by Sydney Mike

"The original of this recipe was meant to be served with glazed ham, but I've found the sauce to be a nice accompanyment for both pork & chicken! Four cups of fresh pineapple (diced medium) can be used instead of canned pineapple. If you want a somewhat less lumpy sauce, I'd suggest using crushed pineapple instead of the chunks."

Pineapple is the perfect compliment to ham and this is the way to bring it.

Delicious sauce!! I made it as a sauce for slices of recipe#187442. PERFECT! Well use this again with ham. Made for P-A-R-T-Y tag in Let's Party! event.

Made exactly to the recipe specifications, and served with grilled gammon steaks! WOW! This is a GREAT combination of flavours - and just what I have come to expect from the King of Fruit recipes!! I have some left over to serve with grilled chicken this week. I have no suggestions on how to improve on this as it was wonderful just the way it was posted. Made for Newest Tag game - no photos for the gammon, I'll try to get them for the chicken when I serve it! Thanks again Syd - brilliant! FT:-)
