How to Make Brown Sugar Lemon Cocktail Sauce
- In a small saucepan, combine 1 cup of your favorite high-quality chili sauce, 1/4 cup packed light brown sugar, 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice, 1 tablespoon lemon zest, 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard, and 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional).
- Bring the mixture to a simmer over medium heat, stirring frequently.
- Reduce heat to low and simmer gently for 5-7 minutes, or until the sauce has slightly thickened and the flavors have melded beautifully.
- Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
- Transfer the sauce to a small bowl or airtight container.
- Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours (or preferably overnight) to allow the flavors to deepen and develop fully. The longer it sits, the better it tastes!
- Serve chilled alongside your favorite seafood.
