    I love making this sweet chilli sauce and so does my family and friends, i used about 20 to 30 mild chillies this time and also have made this with ghost chillies, very easy and simple to make.

    Loved this recipe. Did 1 humongous red capsicum and 4 small green chillies as it’s what they had at market. Blitzed chilli seeds and all. Love that I can make it gf and it’s cheaper than supermarket bought

  5. Mark wheeler how many ghost chillies did you use, I have a bush but am a little bit scared to use them .

    Hello ,
    I am going to make this sauce and
    I have a couple of questions.
    How much sauce approx does the recipe make ?
    How long can it be stored for?
    Has anyone put coriander in it?
    Thank-you for the recipe.

    When I made this my son said it wouldn’t last long because it’s so tasty & he’s right another batch on the go already.
