Ingredients
Instructions
- In a saucepan, combine the reserved pineapple juice, brown sugar, yellow mustard, ground cloves, and cornstarch.
- Heat until the mixture boils and thickens.
- Add the drained pineapple slices to the sauce.
- Heat through until warmed.
- Spoon the sauce and pineapple over cooked ham.
Tips & Substitutions
For a tangier flavor, consider using Dijon mustard instead of yellow mustard. If you prefer a sweeter sauce, add a tablespoon of honey or maple syrup. To thicken the sauce further, allow it to simmer longer after it reaches a boil. This Dole Golden Sauce can also complement other meats, making it versatile for various dishes.
Serving Suggestions
This Dole Golden Sauce pairs beautifully with glazed ham but can also elevate grilled chicken or pork. Serve it alongside roasted vegetables or a fresh salad for a complete meal. For a delightful appetizer, spoon over cream cheese and serve with crackers, or enjoy with slices of Very Good Brown Bread for a unique twist.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftover sauce in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days. To reheat, simply warm it in a saucepan over low heat, stirring occasionally until heated through. If the sauce thickens too much in the fridge, you can thin it out with a splash of water or pineapple juice.
