Thai Sweet Chilli Sauce

• 7 fresh red serrano peppers or 7 Thai chiles
• 4 cloves garlic, peeled
• 3 tablespoons fish sauce
• 1 cup rice vinegar
• 1 cup water
• 1 cup granulated sugar

1. Remove stems from chillies (leaving seeds in is optional) and place chillies and peeled whole garlic in a mortar and grind into a paste (some pieces of the chillies can remain visible).
2. Or alternately, you may place in a small spice mill set on pulse.
3. Combine ground garlic/chilli mixture with fish sauce, rice vinegar, water and sugar in a small saucepan, and whisk together.
4. Set heat on medium, and bring to a boil.
5. Reduce heat to low, and cook, stirring, until mixture has thickened and lightly coats the back of a spoon, about 15-20 minutes.
6. Allow to cool, and store in a sealed container in the refrigerator until used.
