yum homemade sweet chilli!

June 18, 2008

on sunday we went to the vege markets and bought heaps and heaps of chillies. then couple of days ago blended them up into some awesome chilli sauce. its quite yum.

home made chilli sauce take one

i didnt really follow a recipe, although i did consult one first for some ideas.

basically if you wanna make something awesome, just do it to your tastes. This is about what i can remember for next time:

  • couple thumbs of ginger and galangal
  • bulb or so of garlic
  • as many chilies as i had (20ish 2-3 inch ones)

blend all that up and add:

  • half a cup of raw sugar
  • bit of water
  • sprinkle of rock salt

and cook untill boiling, then reduce to simmer for 5 mins or so. then add:

  • 100mls of cider vinegar
  • 50mls dark soy
  • about half a blended kaffir lime (no rind)

cook a touch more i guess and vola! jar while hot.

maby next time i might try some lemon grass and some of the kaffir lime leaves.
