My recipe is a "fly by the seat of your pants kind of thing"A tin of pineapple (including juice) a couple of table spoons of brown suagr, a glug of vinegar and a squirt of tomato sauce and water. Boil until thick or add a cornflour paste if it doesn't thicken enough.I just taste and adjust as I go.Good luck!
