Instructions

1. Peel the pineapple and cut it into small pieces on a plate, so you don't lose the juice.
2. Put it in a small saucepan with the juice and just enough water to cover, and simmer until tender, about 15 minutes.
3. Add the sugar and let it boil until the liquid is almost a syrup.
4. Mix the cornstarch with a little cold water, add it and let it boil for 2 minutes: this gives the sauce body without needing so much sugar. Finish with the lemon juice.
