Mild Gluten Free Sweet Chili Sauce Recipe

Ingredients:

• 1/4 cup rice vinegar
• 1/2 teaspoon dried, crushed red peppers (or red hot chili oil) (optional)
• 3/4 to 1 cup minced red or orange bell peppers, minced (or medium-hot peppers)
• 1 large garlic clove, minced or finely grated
• 1/3 cup granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon salt (as low as 1/2 tsp for low-sodium diets)
• 3/4 cup water
• 1 tablespoon water
• 1 tablespoon cornstarch (or potato starch, tapioca flour, or arrowroot powder)

Instructions:

1. Add vinegar and, if using, pepper seeds to a cup; and stir for about 1 minute. (The longer it sits, the hotter it becomes.) Strain and discard seeds.
2. Add vinegar, bell pepper, garlic, sugar, salt, and water to a small saucepan.
3. Heat over medium heat in a saucepan until it becomes steamy, about 5 minutes. Stir occasionally.
4. Towards the end of cooking, in a small dish or cup, whisk together the starch and water. Slowly pour it into the hot mixture while whisking constantly until thick.
5. Pour into a glass jar and cool at room temperature prior to sealing or storing. Refrigerate the sauce for at least 1 hour, up to several months.
