Sweet Chili Dipping Sauce

Sweet Chili Dipping Sauce from She Simmers (via Iowa Girl Eats)

I am all about making things from scratch and using the fewest number of processed items as possible.  I like a good sauce to use with chicken, pork, crab rangoons or most anything.  This sauce is quick, easy and delicious.

Ingredients:

3 garlic cloves, peeled
2 red serrano or jalapeno peppers, seeds removed
1/2 cup sugar
3/4 cup water
1/4 cup white vinegar
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
1 tablespoon cornstarch
2 tablespoons water

Add the garlic, chili peppers, sugar, water, vinegar and salt in the bowl of a food processor. Process until well combined - the pieces of garlic and chili should be very small. Transfer the mixture to a saucepan and set over medium-high heat. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to a simmer, cooking until the pieces of garlic and pepper soften a bit, about 3 minutes.

Whisk the cornstarch and water together in a small bowl. Add to the sauce mixture in the pan and continue simmering, whisking frequently, until the sauce has thickened, about 2 minutes. Leftover sauce can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator.

Makes about 1 cup
