Fiery Pineapple Pepper Drizzle is the perfect way to bring bright, tropical heat to practically any dish. Sweet pineapple, warm honey, and lively peppers come together in a glossy glaze that’s both vibrant and versatile. Whether you spoon it over grilled chicken, brush it onto shrimp, drizzle it across tacos, or pour it over a block of cream cheese with crackers, this sauce delivers a balanced burst of sweet, spicy, and tangy flavors in every drop.
Pineapple juice forms the irresistible base, simmering down with diced fresh pineapple for added texture and natural sweetness. Jalapeños or habaneros bring the heat—gentle and punchy with jalapeños, fiery and fruit-forward with habanero. Honey adds roundness and shine, while apple cider vinegar or lime juice cuts through with just the right amount of acidity. Butter finishes the drizzle with a silky sheen that clings beautifully to whatever it touches.
