For a smoother sauce, you can blend the pineapple and carrots before adding them to the mixture. Adjust the sugar and vinegar to your taste. If you prefer a tangier sauce, add a splash more vinegar. For a sweeter sauce, add a bit more sugar. A pinch of red pepper flakes can add a subtle kick to this sauce. This sauce can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
