  3. Add the carrot, celery, potato, pineapple, chopped tomatoes, stock, tomato puree, Henderson's relish, soy sauce, sweetener and hot pepper sauce and stir well.

  5. Add the cornflour slurry, stirring well. Set the Instant Pot to 'sauté' and simmer for 5 minutes until the stew has thickened. Serve with an accompaniment of your choice.
