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
Directions
Step 1
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.
Step 2
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.
Step 3
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.
Step 4
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.
Step 5
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.
Step 6
Slowly pour the arrowroot slurry into the saucepan while continuously stirring. This will help to thicken the sauce without changing the flavor.
Step 7
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.
Step 8
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.
Step 9
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.
