Who doesn’t love some sweet chilli sauce with their chicken wings, as a dip for prawn toast or samosas or even as an added bonus to breakfast eggs and avocado!Sweet and spicy at the same time, the blend of ginger, garlic, chillies and red pepper is just so perfect. It takes about 20 minutes prep, and then you can leave it to bubble away (with the occasional stir) until it’s lovely and sticky.
Why should I make it at home?
Apart from being able to show off your awesome sauce-making skills, making the sauce at home allows you to control the thickness and spiciness of the sauce.
How long can I store sweet chilli sauce?
Once prepared and sealed in sterilised jars, it can be stored for 3 months in a cool, dark place. Refrigerate the jar after opening.
