Once you try this simple homemade Sweet Chili Pineapple sauce recipe, I am sure you would stop
buying it from the store. Basic ingredients such as chilli flakes, sugar, vinegar go into this beautiful sauce.
The addition of pineapple gives the sauce a good kick.

This versatile sauce has the right balance of hot and sweet taste. It barely takes 20 minutes to make this.
So next time when you run out of sauce, I insist you give this sauce a try.

Thai Sweet Chili Sauce is readily available in any Asian supermarket at an affordable price. But when you
look at the ingredients list, it will give you a shock. While you can make your very own Sweet Chili Sauce
at home, why go for the ones loaded with preservatives, right?

Sweet Chili Sauce is an excellent dipping sauce for spring rolls, fried wontons, even for Indian snacks
such as pakoras, samosa etc.

The usage is not limited as a dip, try tossing crispy fried chicken wings in this sauce or toss some baby
carrots in the sauce and bake. I guess I have convinced you enough to make this sauce.

CAN I SUBSTITUTE PINEAPPLE JUICE?

You can substitute the pineapple juice with plain water. But then it will not be Sweet Chili Pineapple
Sauce any more. But the sauce will still be delicious.

The amount of sugar depends on the sweetness of pineapple juice. So adjust sugar accordingly. The
amount of chilli flakes to use again depends on how hot it is.

CAN I USE FRESH RED PEPPERS?

Authentic Thai Sweet Chili Sauce uses fresh red chilli peppers.  Depending on how hot is the pepper,
adjust the quantity. Put them in a food processor and mince really fine.

Use this sauce to make a variation of this SWEET AND SPICY THAI GRILLED CHICKEN.

I use tapioca flour: mix 2 tablespoons of tapioca flour and 2 tablespoons of water. Make sure the burner
is turned down to low do not boil tapioca flour mixture.

 I love the recipe and cannot wait to make it. Apple Cider Vinegar and Rice Vinegar are very different.
Which do you use for the recipe? One is much sweeter than the other. Thank you.

The directions about adding the apple cider vinegar or white vinegar is confusing. Would you have to
add one of this as well as the fresh pineapple juice ?

Is this recipe calling for 1 cup of water and 1 cup of pineapple juice and then 1/2 cup white vinegar, 1/2
cup apple cider vinegar, and another 1/2 a cup pineapple juice? It’s just a little confusing on the way it is
posted.

Thank you!

Hi Chester! Based on the comments,I believe it is

1. 1 cup pineapple juice or 1 cup of water.( 2 options,use either one)
2. 1/2 cup of white vinegar or 1/2 cup of apple cider vinegar or another 1/2 cup of pineapple juice. (3
options, use one whichever is available in your pantry but I personally think white vinegar will do
best. :))

I’m gonna make this too,yumm~Thanks to Subhasmita 🙂

I haven’t tried canning where I know with fruit syrups you have to add cornstarch when ready to use,
since doing so in jar can cause it to expand and explode. Same with flour and noodles just a heads up.

Hi Lisa, no I haven’t but I printed out this recipe a few min. ago. I may not get to it until after the
holidays. Possibly January. I actually don’t see a problem with water bath canning a small batch.I think it
would make a nice gift for a foody. I’ll get back with all of you when I do can it. If you do it first… be sure
to post the outcome.

@ Nikki they are not pineapple chunks. That’s minced garlic. I have used only pineapple juice.

How come your sauce looks like it has chunks of pineapple but the recipe doesn’t call for it? It just calls
for the juice.

Hello Armida, Thank you for trying the recipe. I am glad that you liked it. I have still one small sauce
bottle in the refrigerator and Its in good condition for me. As this sauce dosen’t have any preservative,
it’s better not keep it for too long.

@Sparki Thank you for stopping by. I have never tried vacuum sealing technique. So I am sorry I can’t
comment on that part. But the sauce refrigerates very well.

@Holly Semmler I so sorry for replying so late. This sauce would easy stay up to a month if refrigerated.
if proper sterilisation technique applies while bottling it might stay more than one month but I have not
tried. Hope you would give a try.

I don’t think it is safe to can anything with corn starch in it. Perhaps if you could use clear gel in place of
the starch. I am not sure the ratio (Google it) but I know clear gel is used in pie fillings that get canned
safely.
