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:

  1. In a large Dutch oven over medium-low heat, add sugar, pineapple juice, vinegar, and salt. Bring the mixture to a boil.

  2. Add chili flakes, minced garlic and boil on medium-heat (5 mins)

  3. Mix cornflour and cold water together. Lower the heat and stir in slowly, try to avoid lumps

  4. Cook the mixture on low-heat until it thickens and comes to the desired sauce consistency. The sauce will further thicken after it cools.

  5. Pour cooled mixture into a sterilized jar and refrigerate.
