TOTAL TIME : 40 mins 0.8 cup 52 kcal

INGREDIENTS   
10 goat horn chili peppers

10 Thai chilies also called bird's eye chili

4 cloves of garlic

6 tbsp maple syrup

2 tbsp apple cider vinegar

1 tbsp oil

1 and 1/2 tsp salt

1/2 cup water

1 medium tomato

1/2 cup water

2 tsp cornstarch diluted in 1 tablespoon water, add more for a thicker sauce

INSTRUCTIONS  
1 Using gloves, cut off the stems of the chili peppers (both kinds) and remove the seeds. Transfer to a
blender. Add the garlic, maple syrup, apple cider vinegar, oil, salt, and water. Add the tomato as well.
Blend on high speed for 10-20 seconds, or until smooth.

2 Strain the juice through a fine sieve to remove the chili seeds and skins. Note: You can discard the pulp
or use it in stir-fries or marinades to add spiciness.

3 Transfer the strained juice to a saucepan and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and let simmer
uncovered for 7-10 minutes, or until it has slightly thickened and doesn't smell like raw peppers

anymore. It will also get a slightly deeper red color.

4 Stir in the diluted cornstarch, and whisk until the sauce has thickened. Remove from heat and transfer
to a clean jar. You can also let it cool completely and then transfer it to a squeeze bottle.

5 Store in the refrigerator for up to 10 days. Use this sweet chili sauce as a dipping sauce for egg rolls,
potato fries, and steamed veggies, or drizzle it on rice, noodles, spring rolls, pizza, and more!

NOTES
• You can adjust the spiciness level by playing with the ratio of goat horn chili peppers to Thai chilies.
I went with 5 Thai chilies, and I found the sauce to be already quite spicy. If you want it spicier: add
more Thai chilies. If you want a milder chili sauce: Only use 2 Thai chilies.

• The thinner your sieve, the smoother your sauce will be. I tried straining the sauce using a fine
sieve mesh, as well as a nut milk bag. The nut milk bag way yielded the best consistency, but the
sauce tends to dye the bag, so be aware of that.

• To make it easier to use, feel free to transfer the sauce to a squeeze bottle.
