Thai Sweet Chili Sauce - cooking recipe

Ingredients

3 garlic cloves, peeled
2 hot red peppers (jalapeno, serrano, thai, cayenne, etc.)
1/2 cup sugar
3/4 cup water
1/4 cup vinegar
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon cornstarch
2 tablespoons water

Preparation

Keeping the seeds makes for a hotter end product, removing less so. Keep in mind it will be hotter the first day and dissipates over time. Resist the urge to taste and redip your spoon. Enzymes in saliva breaks down starches and will eventually make it watery -- that is in my humble opinion.
In a food processor blend together the garlic, red peppers, sugar, water, vinegar and salt into a puree; transfer to a sauce pan.
Bring mixture to a boil and simmer until the mixture begins to thicken and garlic and peppers bits slightly soften, about 3 minutes.
Combine cornstarch and water to make a slurry. Whisk into the sugar/pepper mixture. Bring to a boil and cook for 1 minute. Cool completely before storing in refrigerator.
