Too Hot Chilli Sauce

Asked on 21 Dec 2016 by The Cat's Mother

I have just made sweet chilli sauce (chillis, garlic, sugar, white wine vinegar and water) which is far too hot. I probably left too many seeds in. I have sieved it, Is there any way I can calm it down a bit?

Hello,

You could make the recipe again with red pepper instead of chilli then add your strong chilli sauce near the end of the cooking time.

Kind regards

Lindsey
