Thai Sweet Chili Sauce

Thai Sweet Chili Sauce is my family's favorite, and we have been buying the ready made ones from Supermarket shelves.  Through "trial and error" I finally came up with the most preferred taste for my family: a combination of slightly salty, sourish and sweet! In my final attempt I made another batch for my mum and brother's family to taste, and out came the verdict "YES!" So, from now on I will be adapting this recipe.  

Ingredients:

3 red chilies (deseeded and cut into chunks)

3 - 4 bird's eye chili (deseeded) - amount based on your preference

5 garlic cloves (peeled)

1/4 cup vinegar

3/4 cup water

1/4 cup + 1 tbsp granulated sugar

1/2 tsp salt

Cornflour mixture (for thickening)

Methods:

1. Add red chilies, bird's eye chili, garlic, vinegar, granulated sugar, salt and 1/4 cup water into the blending beaker and puree using a hand blender. 
2. Transfer mixture to a pot, add in the remaining water and bring to a boil.
3. Switch heat to low and simmer while stirring occasionally for about 2 - 3 minutes.
4. Whisk in cornflour mixture and continue to simmer until the mixture thickens slightly, and is of your preferred consistency. (it must not be too thick or thin).
5. Dish into a bowl and let it cool completely.
6. Store in a glass jar and refrigerate.
