Recipe by Annemiek:sweet chili sauce

Santé's Annemiek is not so fond of ready-made sweet chili sauce full of refined sugar and 'other junk'. She much prefers to make it herself Super easy and so delicious!

You need this

For 1 jar or bottle

  • 3 red peppers
  • 2 garlic cloves
  • 1 cm fresh ginger
  • 3 tbsp honey
  • 150 ml of water
  • 50 ml apple cider vinegar
  • 1 tsp fish sauce
  • 2 tsp cornflour
  • sunflower oil.

Additional needed :stick blender, preserving jar or bottle

This is how you make it

  • Remove the stems and seeds from the peppers and keep the seeds of one pepper. Cut the peppers into pieces.
  • Peel the ginger and peel the garlic, finely chop both.
  • Heat the oil in a saucepan and fry the peppers, garlic and ginger for about
    1 minute. Add the honey and keep stirring. When bubbles appear, add the water and vinegar. Let it simmer for 3-4 minutes, then turn off the heat.
  • Mix the sauce with the immersion blender (leave some small pieces in it). Add the fish sauce and taste. If desired, add some honey or fish sauce to taste.
  • Make a smooth paste of 2 teaspoons cornflour and some water in a glass. Pour into the chili sauce, turn the heat back on and let it simmer until the sauce has the desired thickness.

Hint

Do you want a mild chili sauce? Do not use the pepper seeds. Do you like extra spicy? Then add more seeds.
