In a medium saucepan, combine pineapple juice, apple cider vinegar, brown sugar, soy sauce, and ketchup.
Heat the mixture over medium heat, stirring until the sugar dissolves.
In a separate bowl, mix cornstarch and water to create a slurry.
Once the sauce is boiling, add the cornstarch slurry to the saucepan.
Stir continuously until the sauce thickens, about 2-3 minutes.
Add garlic powder and ginger powder, stirring to combine.
Season with salt to taste.
Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
Transfer the sauce to a jar or container for storage.
Use immediately or refrigerate for later use.
