1 kg raw sugar (or white sugar)

Recipe

Wash the chili peppers thoroughly, remove the stems, and cut into appropriate sizes with scissors.
Place the cut chili peppers in a container and add sugar in a 1:1 ratio, but set aside a small amount to sprinkle on top.
Mix the chili peppers and sugar well, then press down firmly.
Sprinkle the reserved sugar on top to cover the chili peppers completely.
Leave at room temperature; the sugar will dissolve on its own. Stir occasionally, and wearing disposable gloves, press down with your hands so the chili peppers are submerged in the syrup.
Once the sugar has completely dissolved and syrup has formed, transfer to a clean airtight container and store in the refrigerator.
After aging, take out a portion and blend with a hand blender for 5-6 minutes until smooth, then use in cooking.
