Australian Sweet Chili Sauce

Recipe By :Adam Henderson, Sydney, Australia
Serving Size : 4 Preparation Time :0:00
Categories : Condiment LowFat (Less than 5%)

Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
3/4 cup long red chilies -- or bird's eye chilies, deseeded (100 grams)
1 1/4 cups sultanas -- or raisins
2 tablespoons fresh ginger root -- or galangal, peeled and chopped
8 garlic cloves
3 tablespoons soy sauce
1 1/4 cups water
1 1/4 cups white cider vinegar
1 cup brown sugar

Put the chilies, sultanas, garlic, ginger and soy sauce into a blender and puree them, adding water as required to develop an even blend/mix.

Spoon the puree into a saucepan, add the vinegar and sugar, and bring to a simmer.

Cover, and continue to simmer until the mixture has reduced, stirring from time to time to prevent sticking.

Leave to cool, and then bottle in sterilized and re-sealable jars or bottles. The sauce will keep for six months and the flavor develops with age.

Serves 4

AuthorNote: I started to make this recipe as a skint student. In midsummer, chili, garlic and ginger are at their cheapest, meaning that a couple of dollars in the local markets and a few hours' work in the kitchen kept me in chili sauce all year long. The added advantage is that a spare bottle with a home-made label works well as an emergency gift when required.
