BHA & BHT Free Whole30 Pineapple Sweet and Sour Sauce

That tangy-sweet punch you get from a great sweet and sour sauce is hard to replicate cleanly — most bottled versions are loaded with synthetic preservatives and additives you'd rather not think about. This homemade version skips all of that, leaning on 100% unsweetened pineapple juice, apple cider vinegar, and coconut aminos to build a bright, complex flavor from scratch. Tomato paste adds body and a subtle richness, while fresh grated ginger and garlic powder give it just enough warmth to keep things interesting. The arrowroot slurry is the secret to that glossy, clingy texture — whisk it in at the end and pull the pan off the heat as soon as it thickens, since arrowroot can go thin again if you push it too far. Every ingredient here is straightforward and easy to source, so you're not hunting down specialty items just to make a weeknight dipping sauce. It works beautifully over grilled chicken, tossed with roasted vegetables, or as a dipping sauce for whatever you've got coming off the grill.
