Once you try this simple homemade Sweet-Chili sauce recipe, you’ll never buy a grocery store bottle sauce again. This is a complexity of sweet and heat. Great for dipping fried shrimp, calamari, or grilled meats.
INGREDIENTS:
1 1/2 cups white granulated sugar
1 cup pineapple juice
1/2 cup rice vinegar (or Apple-cider vinegar)
1 Tbsp garlic, minced
1 1/2 Tbsp red chili flakes
1 tsp kosher sea salt
2 Tbsp cornflour
4 Tbsp cold water
DIRECTIONS:
In a large Dutch oven over medium-low heat, add sugar, pineapple juice, vinegar, and salt. Bring the mixture to a boil.
Add chili flakes, minced garlic and boil on medium-heat (5 mins)
Mix cornflour and cold water together. Lower the heat and stir in slowly, try to avoid lumps
Cook the mixture on low-heat until it thickens and comes to the desired sauce consistency. The sauce will further thicken after it cools.
Pour cooled mixture into a sterilized jar and refrigerate.
