Sweet and Sour Pineapple Chili Sauce
The sweet and sour pineapple chili sauce is inspired by Asian and Caribbean cuisine, combining the sweetness of exotic fruits and the spicy character of chili. The natural sugar content of pineapple and the citrus freshness of lime perfectly balance the powerful spices, creating a harmonious and exciting sauce. This sauce is excellent with grilled meats, fish and roasted vegetables, and adds a special flavor to Asian-inspired dishes. For even more intense smoky notes, try it with a little chipotle chili or smoked jalapeño.
