2bleus Sweet Thai Chili Sauce Super Easy Recipes

Steps:

• To a small saucepan, add all ingredients and stir to combine. Heat and gently simmer over med-low heat, stirring occasionally, until reduced by half or when it is the consistency of a thick maple syrup, about 15-20 minutes. Be sure to keep an eye on it so it does not overcook or burn.
• Remove from heat, let cool slightly, then use an immulsion blender or a mini food processor to chop everything up 'fine'. (you can also do this halfway thru the cooking process, then again at the end of cooking). If using, add food coloring to show level of heat (dark red being very hot).
• Serve warm over fish, pork, chicken, vegetables, etc. Cover and refrigerate any extra. It will last 6 months or more in the fridge. This will get hotter the longer it is stored!
