Thai Sweet Chili Sauce

3 large garlic cloves, peeled

2 RED Jalapeno or Serrano peppers, deseeded unless you like it hot

1/2 cup sugar

3/4 cup water

1/4 cup white vinegar

1/2 T salt

1 T cornstarch or potato starch

2 T water

In the blender, puree together all the ingredients, except for the last two.

Transfer the mixture to a saucepan and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Lower the heat to medium and simmer until the mixture thickens up a bit and the garlic-pepper bits begin to soften, about 3 minutes.

Combine the cornstarch and water to make a slurry. Whisk in the cornstarch mixture and continue to simmer one more minute. The cornstarch will help the sauce to thicken slightly thereby causing nice suspension of the garlic-pepper bits.

Let cool completely before storing in a glass jar in the refrigerator.
