5 Minute Sweet Chili Sauce Made with Clean Ingredients

I wanted to try out a new recipe and needed to find sweet chili sauce.  I searched high and low (even looking at my local Whole Foods) for a bottle that contained only clean ingredients.  I read every single bottle, reading every single ingredient (like I do for everything) and could not find one that I was happy with using.  The closest one I came to finding still contained agave nectar; a sweetener I do not recommend.  This should be easy right…finding real food in the grocery store?  Well unfortunately it is not always easy and when this happens I would much rather find a way to make it myself then settle for something I couldn’t feel good about.

Much to my surprise making sweet chili sauce is super easy and in about 5 minutes I had my own version that contained ingredients I could identify as real food.  Moral of the story is that there is a time and a place to purchase certain foods and then there is sometimes a need to make something yourself if you care about what is in your food.  You can make as much as you need, save money, and stay clean all at the same time.  What have you made homemade because you couldn’t find a clean version?
