Ingredients for Pineapple Sweet Chili Sauce
Pineapple - I like to use fresh pineapples in the recipe. First core the pineapple, dice them, and add it to the blender to make fresh pineapple juice. I have detailed the method in a separate post for making homemade pineapple juice. If you like the texture a bit chunky, feel free to add some pineapple chunks too.
Garlic - Fresh minced garlic or diced garlic works best. You really don't want to make a chutney out of them.
Chilli - I prefer fresh Birds Eye Chilies in the recipe.. It's got the perfect heat, which we love in the chili sauce. However, you can substitute it for chili flakes or sambal olek.
Soy Sauce - Add a little bit of Soy Sauce for the perfect Asian flavor in the sauce. Don't add too much as it can alter the color of the sauce.
Apple Cider Vinegar or Rice Wine Vinegar - I like to use either of them for making pineapple dipping sauces.
Granulated sugar or any other white sugar will work. I have not tried it with cane sugar or sugar alternatives like honey or maple syrup.
Salt to taste
Cornflour & Water to make a slurry. Cornflour slurry works as a thickening agent to the dipping sauce.
