Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Fresh Pineapple
- 2 teaspoons Red Chili Flakes
- 2 tablespoons Apple Cider Vinegar
- 1 cup Water
- 1 teaspoon Arrowroot Powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
Instructions
Begin by preparing the fresh pineapple. Peel and core the pineapple, then chop it into small chunks. You need approximately 1 cup of pineapple chunks for this recipe.
In a blender, combine the fresh pineapple chunks with 1 cup of water. Blend until smooth to create a natural sweet liquid base for your sauce.
Pour the blended pineapple mixture into a small saucepan. Add the red chili flakes, apple cider vinegar, and salt to the pan, and stir to combine the ingredients.
Place the saucepan over medium heat. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, occasionally stirring, for about 10 minutes. This helps to infuse the flavors and slightly thicken the sauce.
Once the sauce is simmering and the flavors are melded, create a slurry by mixing the arrowroot powder with a small amount of cold water in a separate bowl. Stir until the arrowroot is completely dissolved.
Slowly pour the arrowroot slurry into the saucepan while continuously stirring. This will help to thicken the sauce without changing the flavor.
Continue cooking the sauce on low heat for another 5 minutes until it reaches a slightly thickened, glaze-like consistency. Stir frequently to prevent sticking.
Remove the sauce from the heat and let it cool slightly. Taste and adjust the seasoning if necessary. The sauce will slightly thicken more as it cools.
Transfer the sauce to a serving container or jar. It can be stored in the refrigerator for up to one week. Serve the Whole30 Hot Honey Sauce drizzled over dishes or as a flavorful dip.
