Pineapple Lime Salsa

4 cups finely diced pineapple
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/4 cup white wine vinegar
2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
1 teaspoon minced jalapeño pepper
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/8 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
4 green onions (white part only), finely sliced
1/3 cup finely chopped fresh basil
Kosher salt

In a large sauté pan combine the pineapple, sugar, vinegar, lime juice, jalapeño, cumin, salt, and pepper. Bring to a boil and cook over medium-high heat until thickened, 7 to 10 minutes. (If there is still a lot of liquid left, use a slotted spoon to transfer the pineapple to a bowl and continue to cook the liquid over high heat for 5 minutes more, then pour the liquid over the pineapple.) Mix in the onions and basil. Season with salt, if desired.

Think ahead
Make salsa up to 1 day in advance. Cover and refrigerate.
