Homemade Thai Sweet Chili Sauce

In a blender, combine the red chili peppers and minced garlic. Blend until smooth, adding a little water if necessary to help it blend.

In a medium saucepan, add the blended chili and garlic mixture, sugar, white vinegar, water, and salt. Stir well to combine all ingredients.

Bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat, stirring occasionally. Once it reaches a boil, reduce heat and let it simmer for about 5-7 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.

In a small bowl, mix cornstarch with a tablespoon of water to create a slurry. Gradually add this slurry to the simmering sauce, stirring constantly until the sauce thickens to your desired consistency.

Remove the sauce from heat and let it cool. Transfer to a clean jar or bottle and refrigerate. The sauce will thicken further as it cools.
