Cooked Pineapple in a Sweet Gravy

Growing up we would have a ham slice with these wonderful cooked pineapple chunks on top that were in a sweet 'gravy' of sorts. I loved it and always looked forward to the ham slice night because I knew we would have these pineapples with it. My mom finally shared the recipe with me a few years ago and I was floored how easy it was to put together. Tonight I served it with my Hawaiian BBQ Chicken and it was a nice side dish to accompany it.

Cooked Pineapple in a Sweet Gravy: Serves 2-4

20oz Jar Pineapple Chunks in their own Juice
1TB Brown Sugar
1tsp Corn Starch

Discard half of the juice and with the other half of the juice from the can whisk the corn starch and brown sugar into it. Place the pineapple and juice mix into a small sauce pot and heat over medium heat stirring constantly and bring to a boil. As the juice heats up it will begin to thicken, continue to stir until it turns into a gravy like consistency. Remove from the heat and serve.
