In a medium saucepan, combine the pineapple, ketchup, brown sugar, pineapple juice, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, cayenne pepper, salt, black pepper, apple cider vinegar, and Worcestershire sauce.

Stir well to mix everything together, then bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat.

Reduce the heat and let the sauce simmer gently, uncovered, for 20–25 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it thickens and the pineapple softens.

Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.

Let the sauce cool slightly, then blend with an immersion blender for a smooth finish or leave it chunky for extra texture.

Serve warm or let it cool completely before storing in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a week.
