- 1/2 red pepper (capsicum), seeds removed
- 1/3 cup sugar
- 1/3 cup white vinegar
- 2 Tbsp. water
- 1/4 tsp. red pepper flakes (more or less, to taste)
Pulse the red pepper in a blender or food processor until very finely chopped. Combine peppers and remaining ingredients in a small saucepan. Cook over medium heat until mixture begins to boil. Reduce heat to a simmer and continue cooking until mixture thickens and is reduced, about 10 minutes. Remove from heat and allow to cool before serving. (Dipping sauce can be stored in the refrigerator for a week.)
