That bright, tangy-sweet flavor you get from a great sweet and sour sauce is fully alive here, built entirely from clean, whole-food ingredients. Unsweetened pineapple juice brings natural sweetness, while apple cider vinegar adds the sharp, punchy contrast that makes this sauce so craveable. Coconut aminos step in for soy sauce, delivering that savory depth without any grain-based ingredients — so there's no wheat, no barley, and absolutely no rye anywhere in the mix. Fresh grated ginger and garlic powder round out the flavor with a little warmth and complexity, and arrowroot starch thickens everything into a glossy, spoonable sauce that clings beautifully to whatever you pour it over. The technique is simple: whisk, simmer, slurry, done — just be sure to pull it off the heat as soon as it thickens, since arrowroot can loosen back up if you push it too far. Drizzle it over grilled chicken, use it as a dipping sauce, or toss it with roasted vegetables for an easy weeknight upgrade that tastes anything but plain.

Whisk together the pineapple juice, apple cider vinegar, coconut aminos, tomato paste, garlic powder, grated ginger, and salt in a small saucepan until the tomato paste is fully dissolved.
Set the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, stirring occasionally, until it just begins to bubble around the edges, about 4–5 minutes.
