A quick and easy homemade sweet chili sauce made by combining apricot jam, Dijon mustard, and sambal chili sauce, simmered to perfection for a smooth and flavorful condiment perfect for dipping or glazing.


Ingredients

Scale

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 chili sauce.
  2. Whisk and Simmer: Whisk the mixture continuously until the jam melts and the sauce becomes smooth; allow it to simmer gently for about 1 minute to blend the flavors.
  3. Cool Slightly: Remove the pan from heat and let the sauce cool slightly before serving or storing.

Notes

  • Adjust the amount of sambal or sriracha to suit your preferred spice level.
  • You can substitute apricot jam with orange marmalade for a slightly different citrus flavor.
  • This sauce works great as a dip for spring rolls, grilled meats, or drizzled over roasted vegetables.
  • Store any leftovers in a sealed container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
