Description

A quick and easy homemade Sweet Chili Sauce combining apricot jam, Dijon mustard, and sambal for a perfect balance of sweetness and spice, ready in just 8 minutes.


Ingredients

Ingredients

  • ½ cup apricot jam (or orange marmalade)
  • 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
  • 1 teaspoon sambal (or sriracha, more to taste)


Instructions

  1. Combine Ingredients: In a small pan over medium heat, combine apricot jam, Dijon mustard, and sambal to start creating the sauce base.
  2. Whisk and Simmer: Whisk continuously until the mixture is melted completely and becomes smooth. Allow the sauce to simmer for about 1 minute to meld the flavors together.
  3. Cool Slightly: Remove the pan from heat and let the sauce cool slightly before serving or storing.

Notes

  • You can substitute apricot jam with orange marmalade for a slightly different citrus note.
  • Adjust the amount of sambal or sriracha according to your preferred spice level.
  • This sauce is excellent for dipping, glazing, or as a condiment for grilled meats and vegetables.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
