This version of the sauce is made from scratch and uses fresh fruit, vinegar, sugar and spices to provide a unique flavour that is both tangy and sweet. The sauce can be made ahead of time and kept in the fridge until you are ready to use it. The finished product is great for dipping, marinade, stir fry sauce or as a topping for your favourite dishes.
