Method:

Combine the sugar, corn syrup, vinegar, onion salt, picante salsa mix and dried chile powder and cook over medium-low heat until the sugar is melted. Thoroughly stir the mixture and heat to a slight boil. Add the onions to the sugar syrup solution and cook for an additional 10 minutes. Set aside.

Under a broiler, cook the peppers until the skin boils and separates. Remove from heat and allow the peppers to cool under a towel or in a paper bag. Once they are cooled, carefully remove the skin and seeds. Thinly chop the peppers and add them to the syrup mixture. Cook the mixture over medium-low heat until the peppers have softened and the flavors have thoroughly mixed.

Pour over your favorite protein for a taco – fish, shrimp, chicken or steak, for example.
