    Meanwhile, drain pineapple juice into 2-cup measuring cup; add remaining 1/2 cup broth to make 1 1/4 cups. In another 2-quart saucepan, mix pineapple liquid, sugar, cornstarch, gingerroot, vinegar and soy sauce. Heat to boiling over high heat. Cook about 2 minutes, stirring constantly. Remove from heat. Stir in bell peppers and pineapple.

Expert Tips

  • tip 1
    Purchase fresh gingerroot in the produce section of the grocery store. Buy a piece that's large enough to hold in your hand for easy grating. Freeze any leftover root for use in future recipes.
  • tip 2
    One large onion, chopped, can be added with the bell peppers and pineapple chunks.
