Preparation Steps
1
Peel the pineapple, remove the core, and chop into small pieces.
2
Seed the jalapeño peppers and finely chop them to ensure even flavor distribution throughout the glaze.
3
Finely dice the red onion and garlic so they blend seamlessly into the glaze.
4
In a medium saucepan, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the onion and garlic and sauté until translucent, about 2-3 minutes.
5
Add the chopped pineapple and jalapeño to the saucepan, and stir well to combine.
6
Pour in the balsamic vinegar and honey. Season with salt and pepper. Bring to a simmer over low heat and cook for 15-20 minutes, or until the pineapple is completely softened and the glaze has thickened.
7
For a smoother consistency, use an immersion blender to purée the glaze. Alternatively, you can leave some small chunks for a more rustic texture.
8
Let the glaze cool completely, then transfer it to a sterilized jar. The glaze will keep in the refrigerator for up to a week.
9
Serve with grilled meats, roasted vegetables, or cheeses for a flavorful and zesty touch.
