Sweet Chili Sauce

"We all love the Sweet-Chili Sauce to dip in our fried stuff. We yearn to savour that sugary-sweet-piquant concoction a lot. Most popular & tastier brands are from Thailand while the lower price ones from China are not that so remembered". Try this recipe by an ingredients' specialist, Mr. Jose Dante S. Morados.

Ingredients:
450 ml Water
80 ml cane or palm vinegar
8 grams Kosher salt
375 grams refined sugar
70 grams combination of red & green bell peppers
2 grams red cayenne pepper
15 grams corn starch


Preparation
1. For multi-color presentation, head & stem cut-off, without removing seeds of red & green bell and red cayenne peppers, lay a portion or a piece of each (should they be smaller) into chopping board. Chop very finely. Include the seeds, set aside.
2. Adding little of our water, also without removing seeds, head & stem taken-off, cut into 4 pieces & blenderize remaining bell and red cayenne until semi smooth emulsion is reached.
