“THE CHILLI KICK IN THIS SAUCE WILL DEVELOP FURTHER AFTER IT HAS SPENT 2-3 DAYS IN THE BOTTLE.”
THE CHILLIES CAN VARY IN HEAT FROM BATCH TO BATCH, SO TASTE TEST THEM PRIOR TO SEEDING. IF YOURS ARE A LITLLE MILD, THEN SIMPLY DO MORE OF THEM WITH THE SEEDS LEFT IN.
KEEP A CLOSE EYE ON THE SAUCE TOWARDS THE END OF THE SIMMER. TAKE IT TOO FAR AND YOU CAN END UP WITH JAM.
Easy sauce to make - just watch the cooking time
