Thai style hot chili sauce

Sweet Thai chili sauce is a versatile sauce we all should have at home. This version is a Thai style sweet chili sauce, which is far superior to any sauce you will buy. Once you taste this, you will never buy sweet chili sauce again. Plus it’s made with fresh ingredients, so you know it’s healthier than any processed chili sauce. Use it on your fried chicken, crispy wings, spring rolls, fish cakes, grilled seafood, fries, even potato wedges. The perfect party food.It’s also satisfying when you make your own, make a bigger batch, sterilize some jars and hand them out as a gift. Enjoy my version of sweet Thai chili sauce, packed with sweet goodness.
