Sweet Chili Sauce

"Adapted from Foolproof Thai Cooking Cookbook. While there are many commercially prepared chili sauces, nothing beats the taste of a freshly made sauce. Great for dipping all sorts of things— wontons, spring rolls, egg rolls, etc. Can be kept in a fridge for up to a week. Notes: for a thicker sauce, add up to 1-2 tsp of cornstarch to mixture before boiling."
