OK, so I was thinking fried chicken wings and using Thai sweet chili sauce (nam jeem) as a dip. I got home from the Pak 'n' Save supermarket and discovered that we were out of nam jeem so I thought to myself, how hard can it be to make my own, right?

First, garlic and chilis...three large cloves and some chilis. I did use several more of the little hot bastards than what is pictured. That's the way I roll.



Next, 1/2 cup sugar.



Chop up the chilis and garlic cloves into tiny bits and chuck 'em into a pan with 3/4 cup water, a 1/4 cup vinegar, the sugar, and a 1/4 tsp salt. Bring it to a boil then down to a simmer for three or four minutes to let the garlic soften up a bit.



I added 1 tablespoon of cornstarch mixed with 2 tablespoons of water to make a slurry in which I whisked into the sauce.



Transfer to a bowl, and et voila! nam jeem.

nice looking chicken sauce.

well done on the sauce , where there's the will etc

Not my immediate area mate no, the natives would steal the contents as soon as it was left unattended.

Nah. It's one of the two big supermarket conglomerates, Foodstuffs and Progressive. Between 'em they have about six different supermarket brands.
