Detailed step-by-step recipe with photos: Step 1

Prepare the ingredients. Hot red peppers sold in the store usually have a medium heat, this is important to consider. Choose the proportions of sweet and hot peppers to your taste. I give the classic proportion of 1 to 1. By the way, for a more saturated and bright shade, it is better not to use green and yellow peppers. But orange ones will do just fine.
Important: it is not advisable to replace corn starch with potato starch, but you can take tapioca starch, increasing its amount by 1.5 times (15 g).
Instead of apple cider vinegar, you can use natural rice or white wine sauce to make a sweet chili sauce recipe at home. Balsamic is also suitable. But with apple, in my opinion, the taste is somewhat softer.

Step 2
Cut the hot pepper into large pieces along with the seeds directly into the blender bowl.
Tip: if you use round mini peppers, it is better to remove the seeds from half the fruits. There are too many of them there.
