1 8-ounce can pineapple slices (juice pack)

1 tablespoon cooking oil

Directions
1.
In a saucepan cook carrots, covered, in a small amount of boiling water for 8 minutes; drain well. Drain pineapple, reserving juice. Cut pineapple slices into quarters; set aside.
2.
For sauce, in a saucepan combine reserved pineapple juice, vinegar, oil, soy sauce, cornstarch, sugar, and garlic. Cook and stir until thickened and bubbly. Cook and stir 1 to 2 minutes more.
