DIRECTIONS
- Simmer sauce ingredients over low heat 30 minutes.
- Use sauce immediately, or allow to cool and puree for a smoother texture.
- Apply to grilled ham steaks or Spam (grill outdoors or on the George Foreman grill).
- Cooked/smoked meats need only to be heated through and have some nice grill marks, so place steaks on a very hot grill, then turn halfway for a cross-hatched effect.
- Cook pineapple, onion and green pepper in a grill pan/skillet or on skewers if you are using, basted with a little sauce). If you use bamboo skewers, soak them 30 minutes submerged in cold water prior to loading with veggies (otherwise they might burn on the grill).
- Serve it all on top of steamed jasmine rice, if desired.
