Hot Chilli Sauce

Things You'll Need:

• 1 packet of dried red whole chilies (long or round)
• Black pepper to taste
• 1 cup of sugar
• 2 cups of tomato ketchup
• 1/3 cup of vinegar
• Water and a pan
• Food processor/blender
• Instructions

1. Step 1

   Buy a packet of chilies from your local food store. Rinse them thoroughly. Remove any attached stems and place them in a deep pan. Add water until all the chilies are covered. Place the pan on the stove and let it boil and cook at a medium flame.

2. Step 2

   Remove the pan once the chilies are completely soft and there is still some water left at the bottom of the pan. Let the chilies cool.

3. Step 3

   Put the chilies and the remaining water in a food processor or a blender. Add vinegar, tomato ketchup, sugar and black pepper. Blend the ingredients until they resemble a fine paste.

4. Step 4

   Taste the chili sauce before placing it in air-tight containers. Store the containers in the refrigerator.

Tips & Warnings

• If the chili sauce is too sharp, add more sugar.
• If the chili sauce is too thick, add a little bit of vinegar and some water and blend again.
• Add a few pieces of garlic to the pan when boiling to create different flavor.
• Store the chili sauce up to 6 months.
