Serves 6
6 oz. maple syrup
4 tbsp. water
1 tbsp. apple cider vinegar
2 cloves garlic, minced
¼ tsp. red pepper flakes
½ tsp. sea salt
1 tsp. arrowroot + 1 tsp. Water
How to Prepare
In a small pot, combine the maple syrup, water, apple cider vinegar, minced garlic, red pepper flakes and sea salt. Stir until well mixed.
Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer for 7-8 minutes.
While the mixture simmers, mix the arrowroot with the water to form a smooth slurry.
Gradually pour the slurry into the simmering sauce, whisking continuously for a few minutes until the sauce thickens.
Remove the pot from the heat and allow the sauce to cool.
Once cooled, transfer the chili sauce to a sealable jar.
