SWEET CHILLI SAUCE RECIPES RECIPES

Steps:

• Coarsely chop half of the chillies and remove the seeds from the remaining chillies and coarsely chop. (Wash hands after chopping).
• Place the chillies, capsicums and salt into a food processor and pulse until finely chopped.
• Heat the sesame oil in a medium saucepan, add the chilli mixture and cook for 3 minutes, stirring often.
• Stir in sugar and vinegar then bring to the boil.
• Reduce the heat to medium and boil gently, uncovered, for about 15 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add garlic then boil gently for 8 minutes.
• Remove from the heat and stand for 2 minutes. Pour sauce into wide necked bottles and seal immediately.

Steps:

• Tip all the ingredients except the sugar into a mini chopper or blender and blend to a chunky sauce. Scrape the contents into a shallow saucepan with the sugar and 100ml water and bring to a simmer.
• Simmer for 15 mins, stirring occasionally until it becomes syrupy. Keeping a close eye on it, continue to simmer and stir for 5 mins more until it easily coats the back of the spoon and you see the bottom of the pan when you stir. Leave to cool and infuse for 1-2 hours. Will keep in a small sterilised jar for up to a month.
