Sweet Chilli Sauce

Makes approximately 1.5 litres
Course: Sauce
Cuisine: Thai
Servings: 20 Portions

Ingredients

  • 900 ml Distilled white vinegar
  • 900 g Caster sugar
  • 4 tbsp Sea salt
  • 6 clove Garlic minced or grated
  • 5 Red chilli roughly chopped

Method

  • Place the White vinegar, Caster sugar and Sea salt in a pan over medium heat. Stir until the sugar has dissolved.
  • Add the Garlic and Red chilli.
  • Bring to a gentle simmer and cook for 20–25 minutes, stirring occasionally, until slightly reduced.
  • Carefully blend until smooth using a stick blender or food processor.
  • Return to the pan and simmer for a further 10–15 minutes until the sauce thickens and lightly coats the back of a spoon.
  • Allow to cool completely before transferring to sterilised bottles.

Chef Notes

  • The sauce will continue to thicken as it cools.
  • For a smoother finish, pass through a sieve after blending.
  • Store in a sterilised bottle or jar in the fridge for up to 4 weeks.
  • For extra heat, increase to 8–10 Red chilli.
