Sweet Chili Sauce for Days

Sweet Chili Sauce
makes approx. 1.25 cups

This recipe has a nice balance of sweet heat, but isn't going to scrape your teeth.  However, feel free to increase the agave if you're looking for that extra sugary punch.

Adapted from here
  • 10-15 Thai red chilies
  • 10 Garlic Cloves
  • 3/4c water
  • 1/4c Apple Cider Vinegar
  • 1/4c Rice Wine Vinegar
  • 1/4c Agave
  • 1tsp Salt
  • 1TBSP Arrowroot or Cornstarch
  • 2TBSP Water

  1. Wash and trim ends of chilies.  You can choose how many seeds you leave in, depending on your heat level achievement.
  2. Place them and all ingredients through the Salt, into blender.  Blend on high speed until mixed and frothy.  It will be very watery.
  3. Pour mixture into a small saucepan and bring to a boil.
  4. Boil for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  5. While mixture is boiling, mix Arrowroot with 2TBSP water until smooth.
  6. Add Arrowroot thickener.  Stir and bring back to a boil for another 30 seconds - 1 minute.  It will suddenly create thick, magicky goodness!
  7. Remove from heat; cool & place in glass storage jar.
