To use this pineapple ginger topper, you can apply it directly to food before or after cooking. For marinades, allow meats or vegetables to soak in the sauce for at least 30 minutes to infuse the flavors. As a glaze, brush it onto food during the last few minutes of grilling or baking to create a sticky, caramelized coating. It also works wonderfully as a finishing sauce, drizzled over finished dishes to add a bright, tangy counterpoint. For stir-fries, add it towards the end of cooking to coat ingredients without overcooking.
