i found this recipe while trying to recreate stir crazy's sweet and spicy chicken. i never realized how simple it was to make something like this! i threw it together this morning and couldn't be happier with the results!it tastes just like the store bought kind and at half the price! btw this recipe is gluten free!

thai sweet chili sauce
from http://wheatfreemom.com/blog/recipe-gluten-free-thai-sweet-chili-sauce/

1 Tbsp minced fresh garlic
3 red chili peppers
1/2 cup sugar
3/4 cup water
1/4 cup white vinegar
1 Tbsp cornstarch
2 Tbsp water
Chop up chili peppers in a small food processor. (do not deseed)

Add chopped chili peppers, garlic, sugar, water and vinegar into a saucepan. Heat on medium until the mixture boils.

Turn sauce down to a simmer and cook for 3-5 minutes.

Combine cornstarch and 2 tbsp water in a small bowl and mix well. Whisk the cornstarch mixture into the chili sauce and continue simmering for a few minutes. This should thicken pretty quickly. Remove from heat. Keep refrigerated until ready to use.
