Chili Pineapple Sauce

Ingredients:

1.5 cups white sugar

1 cup pineapple juice

½ cup rice vinegar or apple cider vinegar

1 tbsp minced garlic

1-2 tbsp red chili flakes (adjust to taste; option to use 2 small dry bird’s eye chilies instead)

1 tsp salt (adjust to taste)

2 tbsps cornflour

4 tbsps cold water

Instructions:

In a large heavy-bottomed pan, combine the sugar, pineapple juice, vinegar, and salt. Bring the mixture to a boil.

Add the chili flakes and minced garlic. Continue to boil over medium heat for 5 minutes.

In a small bowl, mix the cornflour with cold water until smooth.

Reduce the heat to low and slowly stir the cornflour mixture into the pan, avoiding the formation of lumps.

Continue to cook on low heat until the sauce thickens to a desired consistency. Remember, the sauce will thicken further as it cools.

Once cooled, transfer the sauce to a sterilized bottle and refrigerate.

Storage: Keep the sauce refrigerated in a sterilized bottle. Use as needed to add a sweet and spicy kick to your dishes!
