Spicy Fruit sauce for Pork or Chicken

Love to use this sauce for my Perfect Fall Pork Roast.  In the Summer, I use pineapple, but I mix it up in the fall and winter by using cherries, cranberries, whatever I like.  You can put in any fruit you like.

1c Pineapple , crushed and canned                      1c chicken stock
1 TBSP butter                                                     1/3 c Triple Sec
2 TBSP chopped onion                                       1 TBSP Olive Oil
1 TBSP chopped shallot                                     1/4 tsp  Hot Pepper Flakes
1/4 tsp sea salt                                                     1/4 tsp pepper
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder                                 1/2 tsp arrowroot ( corn starch)

Pour olive oil in saute pan. Add onions,shallot, and hot pepper flakes in at medium heat.  Saute and stir and add the spices and butter.  After about 4 minutes, add triple sec.  Let saute until alcohol has evaporated.  About 3 minutes.  Then add chicken stock and pineapple. Turn down to a simmer.  While simmering, take arrowroot and add it to 1/2 a teaspoon of stock from the saute pan. Mix and make a paste.  After about 10 minutes, turn heat up to medium high and add arrowroot mixture.  Keep stirring until thickened. You can vary the heat by using more or less hot pepper flakes.

             Enjoy!
