Transform your grilling game with this irresistible Roasted Pineapple Barbecue Sauce that perfectly balances sweet, tangy pineapple with smoky spices. By roasting the pineapple first, you'll unlock deep caramelized flavors that take this sauce from good to absolutely unforgettable.
Spray a baking sheet with cooking spray. Place fresh pineapple and onion chunks on the baking sheet. Roast for 15-20 minutes, until they begin to soften and caramelize.
Remove the pineapple and onion from the oven, and carefully transfer to a blender. Puree until smooth.
To a saucepan, add pineapple puree and all remaining ingredients. Heat gently over low-medium heat, then allow to simmer, uncovered for 10-15 minutes, or until the sauce reaches your desired thickness.
