Sweet Chili Sauce

This is one of my favorite sauces. We love to use it for dipping egg rolls, potstickers, my husband even likes it to spice up mac and cheese…I’m not sure if I recommend that or not. I also love to use this sauce in cabbage slaws and on fish. Be creative with your uses and enjoy the sweet heat!

This sauce lasts forever in a covered container in the refrigerator….maybe not forever but 30 days is good to go.
