Thai Sweet Chilli Dip

Ingredients:
3 large garlic cloves, peeled
2 red Jalapeño peppers, seeded
1/2 cup sugar
3/4 cup water
1/4 cup white vinegar
1/2 tablespoon salt
1 tablespoon cornstarch or potato starch
2 tblespoons water

Method:
1. In the blender, purée together all the ingredients, except for the last two.
2. Transfer the mixture to a saucepan and bring to a boil over medium-high heat.
3. Simmer over medium heat until mixture thickens up a bit and the garlic-pepper bits begin to soften, about three minutes.
4. Combine the cornstarch and water to make a slurry. Whisk in the cornstarch mixture and continue to simmer one more minute. The cornstarch will help the sauce to thicken slightly thereby causing nice suspension of the garlic-pepper bits; otherwise, you get a thin sauce with all the little pieces floating at the top.
5. Let cool completely before storing in a glass jar and refrigerate.
