Pineapple Sweet Chili Sauce

[heart_this] · Jun 8, 2015 · 30 Comments

Pineapple Sweet Chili Sauce

A tropical pineapple sweet chili sauce!

Sweet chili sauce is one of my favourite condiments and it’s super easy to make at home! You pretty much just need to puree some chilies and garlic, add a liquid, sugar, vinegar and a thickener and you are have some tasty homemade sweet chili sauce! One of the nice things about the sweet chili sauce recipe is that you can change it up by adding different things and in this case I went with a tropical theme by adding pineapple! In addition to adding the pineapple I switched the sugar for palm sugar to add a depth of flavour. If you love sweet chili sauce then you’ll love this pineapple sweet chili sauce even more, both for the flavour and for the small chunks of pineapple which make this sweet chili sauce amazing!

    I'm new to the world of chilies – does this recipe have a lot of heat?

    Sheri Maloney: You can control the amount of heat by how many chilies you add. If you want it milder then use fewer chilies. Try adding the chilies one at a time until you get to the desired level of heat.

    How long does this keep? Do you make it before each meal or can I keep it as a condiment in the fridge?

    If trying to use sriracha rather than chilis, how much sriracha would you recommend?

    In the picture it looks like there are tomatores in the jar…or is just the colour of the chilies?

      All of the red in the jars comes from the chilies! 🙂

      Hi Janet, did you have good results when you canned this recipe? I am wanting to try it, but don’t think we will use it quickly. I would also like to give it as gifts. Thank you in advance.

    Do you know if this recipe can be “water bath” canned? I like to make it in bulk. Thank you.

    Loved this, made it with shrimp and rice. I used one Thai chili instead of the peppers listed. You could use two or more but we have a wide range of space ability in our house. It had a kick to the back of the throat but without the burn that lingers. I also added a splash of fish sauce to compliment the shrimp. Delightful.
