Notes

Please Note: Bonne Maman makes Pineapple and Passion Fruit Preserves. It can be found at World Market. If you can't locate it, you can substitute with another pineapple preserve such as Smuckers or a mango preserve can be used and it will be just as delicious. 
Adding water to the preserves will help it thin out as it heats on the burner. Be sure to stir every few minutes so that it doesn't burn.
Also if you want more sauce, you can always add more of the preserves. Be sure to adjust the water accordingly. The sauce will go on like a glaze.
