Sweet Chilli Sauce
Makes approximately 1.5 litres
Course: Sauce
Cuisine: Thai
Servings: 20 Portions
- 900 ml Distilled white vinegar
- 900 g Caster sugar
- 4 tbsp Sea salt
- 6 clove Garlic minced or grated
- 5 Red chilli roughly chopped
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.
