1 (20 ounce) can pineapple chunks, drained with juice reserved
1/3 cup reserved pineapple juice
1 (8 ounce) jar grape jelly
1 (6 ounce) can tomato paste
1/2 cup packed brown sugar
1/2 cup vinegar
2 tablespoons cornstarch
2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
1 teaspoon hot pepper sauce
1 teaspoon liquid smoke flavoring (optional)

Place the pineapple chunks, pineapple juice, grape jelly, tomato paste, brown sugar, vinegar, cornstarch, Worcestershire sauce, hot pepper sauce, liquid smoke flavoring, and salt into a saucepan over medium heat. Stirring constantly, bring the sauce to a simmer, and cook until the grape jelly melts, about 5 minutes.
