Ever wondered how to make Sweet Chilli Sauce at Home? Homemade Sweet Chilli Sauce is cheaper than buying the bought sauce and in my opinion, it tastes so much better. It tastes fresh and goes with everything!
You can make a large batch of Sweet Chilli Sauce, bottle it and give it away for gifts!
Method
-
Cut all the chillies in half lengthways and scrape out the seeds (keep some seeds aside for aesthetic reasons if you wish).
-
Place the chillies in a food processor together with the garlic and 1 cup of the white vinegar.
-
Process until well combined but not pureed.
-
Pour the chilli mixture into a large heavy based saucepan together with the remaining vinegar and caster sugar.
-
Cook for a few minutes stirring constantly until the sugar is dissolved.
-
Place a lid on the saucepan and simmer for 30 - 40 minutes or until the mixture reduces and thickens.
-
Give it a good stir every few minutes to stop the mixture burning on the bottom.
-
If you like, add a few of the chili seeds to the mixture so it looks pretty.
-
Pour into sterilized jars or bottles.
Recipe Hints and Tips:
