Sweet Lime Sauce Recipes

SWEET LIME-GINGER SAUCE FOR TROPICAL FRUIT

Steps:

• 1. In small saucepan, place sugar, 1/4 cup (60 mL) water, ginger, honey and salt. Do not stir. Cover and bring to a simmer for 5 min. Remove from heat. Keep covered; let stand 15 min. Strain out and discard ginger. Cool sauce to room temperature. Mix in lime zest and juice. Serve immediately or chill up to 3 days.

SWEET LIME SAUCE

Steps:

• In a saucepan, add all sauce ingredients except arrowroot powder (or cornstarch). Bring to a boil, then lower the heat to a simmer.
• Taste test for sweetness and saltiness, adding more honey if not sweet enough, or more fish sauce (instead of salt) as desired. If you prefer a spicy sauce, add some fresh chilli or chilli sauce.
• Add the arrowroot or cornstarch powder dissolved in the water. Stir and continue to simmer until sauce thickens. (If it becomes too thick to your liking, add more lime juice and water.).
• Serve the roasted chicken on a platter, either whole or chopped into pieces. Drizzle some of the sauce overtop, then pour the rest around the outside of chicken, or serve it on the side. Garnish with lime slices or wedges, and fresh sprigs of coriander. Serve with plenty of Thai jasmine-scented rice (or potatoes if you prefer), and enjoy!
