  1. I made a double batch and found the vinegar was overpowering. Will try to reduce it next time. I added 3 cubes of palm sugar to try to sweeten it up a bit, but the problem may have just been the double batch issue. Sometimes twice as much doesn’t always work out in cooking. Oh well 🙂

  2. I also think there is too much vinegar as brown vinegar is stronger than the white variety. I used 1/2 cup more brown sugar and about 1/2 cup less vinegar. I also added 1 dessertspoon each of paprika, nutmeg, cinnamon and turmeric, and 1 tspn each of cayenne and garlic powder. Family loved it ….!!

  3. I made this but was still a bit runny I have put it in to jars can I take it out to make it thicker ? Or just leave it. Thanks

  4. This was extremely salty and runny, I have bottled it, unsure how to actually use it now.
    The vinegar is very overpowering.

  5. Hi, it looks like this is an older recipe but I have just tried it. I read the comments beforehand so I made a few changes. I added half the recommended vinegar but didn’t increase the sugar, I also turned up the heat at the end with the lid off and boiled it to reduce it to a thicker consistency. I am really happy with both the taste and consistency.

  6. made this today tastes amazing. I did pop a chilly in and a full red capsicum apart from that followed the recipe ?
    I put a tea towel under the lid after 2 hours and took the lif off for the last hour
    the flavour is amazing will definitely make this again
