Sweet Chili Sauce

I have discovered an incredible sauce!  It is so good, I find myself wanting to make things just to dip into it.  Even french fries taste good with it.  It is a sweet and sour sauce with a kick.  I put only a little kick in our version, but feel free to put more kick in yours if you'd like.  My whole family is nuts about this sauce!  I love it with chickpea nuggets (my kids with with chicken nuggets).  I am so addicted - I am wondering what I will use the dip for next.....


Sweet Chili Sauce
Makes about 1 cup

Ingredients:

2 Tbsp plus 2 tsp white vinegar
2 Tbsp water
2 tsp cornstarch
¼ cup agave
6 Tbsp sugar
1 - 2 tsp chili sauce
¼ tsp salt
¼ tsp garlic powder
Pinch ground cayenne pepper            

Directions:

Combine vinegar and water in a small saucepan.  Whisk in cornstarch.  Add the remaining ingredients (chili sauce to taste).
