BBQ Sauce
If you love a great, slightly sticky, sweet and spicy sauce on your meat cuts, grilled chicken (like THIS), ribs, wings or as a dipping sauce then this is the one for you! This is my signature BBQ sauce and it is easy to make and incredibly flavourful, way better than any old store-bought version could ever be!

- 4 cloves of garlic minced or grated
- 1 inch piece of ginger minced or grated

Assalamun Aleykum. I pray you and your family are well and safe. I would like to know if I can use tinned pineapples. Jazakallah
