I love Thai Sweet Chili Sauce. We used to always buy the one in a squeeze bottle by Thai Kitchen. The ingredients list isn’t too terrible, but it’s not paleo. When it comes to sauces, any kind of sauces, it’s probably best to just make your own.

I modified this recipe (not paleo) and came up with a pretty darn good sweet chili sauce. I added some fish sauce, because as I’ve learned from Michelle over at NomNomPaleo, everything is better with fish sauce.  I’ll be posting up a recipe that calls for this sauce in the next day or two, so keep your eyes open.

Ingredients

• 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
• 2 1/2 Tablespoons honey
• 1/8 cup water
• 1 Tablespoon fish sauce
• 1 clove of garlic
• 1 red jalapeno or Serrano pepper (rot peperoncini), de-seeded
• 1 teaspoon arrowroot powder plus 2 teaspoons water, mixed

Instructions

1. Put everything except for the arrowroot powder and 2 teaspoons of water in a blender.
2. Whiz until everything (the red jalapeno and garlic) is liquefied.
3. Pour into a small sauce pan and bring to a boil over medium high heat.
4. Cook for 5 minutes.
5. Now mix the arrowroot and 2 teaspoons of water in a small glass and pour into the chili sauce while stirring.
6. Remove from heat when it gets thickened.
