Ingredients

Servings

Chili Sauce Mixture

  • 1 cup water 250 g
  • 1 cup rice vinegar 238 g
  • ¾ cup granulated sugar
  • 2 teaspoons tomato paste
  • 1 habanero black pepper finely diced (about 2 teaspoons
  • 2 teaspoons ginger root minced, fresh
  • 1 teaspoon garlic minced

Slurry

  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 1 tablespoon water

Instructions

  1. In a medium saucepan over medium-high heat, add water and vinegar.
  2. Add sugar, tomato paste, chili (habanero) pepper, ginger, and garlic. Stirring frequently, boil for about 10 minutes, or until the sugar is fully dissolved.
  3. In a small dish, combine cornstarch and water to create a slurry. Stir together until no clumps remain.
  4. Pour the slurry into the saucepan and stir to combine. Continue to cook the sauce, stirring occasionally, for about 8-10 minutes. The mixture will thicken slightly and should coat the back of a spoon. (Don't worry if the mixture is still somewhat thin; it will continue to thicken as it cools.)
  5. Remove from heat and allow the mixture to cool. If you feel like it is too thick after cooling, whisk in ½ teaspoon of water to thin it out as desired. It can also be thinned by warming the sauce slightly in the microwave at 20-30 second intervals, stirring in between.
  6. Store Sweet Chili Sauce in the refrigerator for up to a week. Serve warm or cold.
