Notes
- The sweet chili sauce is sweet, not spicy so don't worry about spice!
- If you want to substitute another kind of preserve, I recommend another fruit that is tart like a raspberry and avoiding overly sweet fruits like strawberry. Other good choices would be orange marmalade or cherry preserves.
