½ to 1 t molasses

In med pan (not over heat), combine all ingredients except tapioca flour and crystallized ginger; stir until thoroughly combined. Set aside for 5 min to macerate.Sprinkle tapioca starch evenly over mixture and stir well to incorporate. The residual juices in the pineapple and other wet ingredients will help to dissolve the tapioca. Over med-high heat, bring mix to boil while stirring frequently. Reduce heat to med-low and cook stirring frequently until thickened, about 1 to 2 min. Remove from heat and, if desired, stir in crystallized ginger. Cool completely before using in recipes.
