The Ribman of London knocks out some absolute bangers if you want something that actually tastes of chillies rather than spicy vinegar. His main one is not too spicy bit full of flavour. He does hotter versions too if you prefer.
Vinegar based supermarket suttf.... I normally go with Cholula regular or chipotle. Valentina is better for that but harder to find. La Costena salsa verde has a lovely tangy mild taste... I could drink it out of the bottle.

Depends what its for tbh.

Nice to come across another Ribman enjoyed, I think I found out about him from this forum, still makes my favourite sauces to this day.

His rib rolls have often been the best bit about going to watch West Ham tbh.

Encona original hot pepper sauce or Aunt May's hot Bajan pepper sauce for me if I fancy a little kick of spice, Cholula is a nice flavour sauce but no way hot, more mild, for me anyway.

I saw this in Morrisons so I bought one. It only has a little kick to it, and it's mostly sugar but it's really nice

Description is accurate!

encona is a 4 star chilli rating. so yes cholula will seem mild.

I've fermented about six different batches so far. Please feel free to ask any questions. Especially if it's about fermented sauces. I'd also be happy to steer you away from some of the beginner mistakes (and wastes of money) that I made when I first started.

I've made my before with very goody results... You don't need to ferment it unless that's what you are going for.

Otherwise you can just buy some fresh chilies of your preference.. Onion, tomato, vinigar, bit of sugar to taste etc.

For example I just blended up a load of bell peppers and onion to bulk the sauce out.

Ed Sheran's "Tingly Ted's" sauces are surprisingly decent. Now there's a phrase on my 2025 "Things I never thought I'd type" bingo card...

Got the 4/5 heat and the 5/5 heat ones, I think the 4/5 is marginally hotter tbh. Not that either of them are barnstormer hot, but tasty nevertheless.

I've made acouple of large batches of this which went down well with workmates. Not super hot but very good with white meat, fish or cheese. (I didn't make mine as smooth as that I wanted it a bit chunkier)

Scotch Bonnet, Pineapple and Mango Hot Sauce Recipe

Scotch bonnets are revered for their heat, but once tempered with sweet fruits, vinegar and spices, they can become the backbone of a fantastic chilli sauce – as this recipe proves.

Yeah, heres what I did:

Your favourite chilli sauce is?

Saw some Thai Dragon Siracha sauce in my local tesco nice price £1.99 455ml and prefer it over the Flying Goose tastes a hotter /cleaner no after taste . With these Siracha sauce I just use exclusively as a dip for my tuna and cheese salad wraps yum. I see these sauces as a Spicy ketchup and...

forums.overclockers.co.uk

cook it all up in a big pan, and used a wand blender to get the desired consistency...

You can pretty much freestyle it with chilli sauce really...
Oh I forgot i put a glug of maple syrup in it aswell.
lemon and lime adds a citrusy tang, but if it gets too much you can calm it down by adding sugar or syrup/honey.
Helps as a preservative aswell, along with vinigar.
I like to use plenty of garlic, just because.
Onions and bell peppers to bulk it out without adding too much heat

what jars containers do you use ?

Picked up some of this in Aldi the other day https://www.sauceshop.co/products/b...fnNL49ZsTJsiXHws35rf1FrMW2Xtt_sBoCb6kQAvD_BwE

Really nice roasted pineapple flavour, not mega hot but still has a decent kick.

I tend to use sauce fast so whatever really... Old curry sauce jars empty chilli sauce bottle, empty white vinigar bottle etc.

Helps to have a funnel though!

Also surprisingly good is Pear and pineapple. Go heavy on the pear and less on the stronger pineapple, then max out on the Hot peppers. It's oddly good on on pork, sausages etc and also weirdly as a jam on toast.

I normally take sauces from this guy: https://www.hotpodschilliproducts.com/ he's got some decent recipes that really work nicely - a firm fave is Unbranded Infantry which is a strong kick but great taste. I think I have about 5 bottles in various states of demolishment.

Another independent I have in the fridge and I'm super impressed with is RoniB's Kitchen: https://ronibkitchen.co.uk/ their Philipino stuff is great, two to really try (they're not overly hot but really tasty):
https://ronibkitchen.co.uk/products/labuyo-hot-chilli-sauce <- got this in the fridge at the moment

https://ronibkitchen.co.uk/products/banana-ketchup <- this I've tried at an event and it's really nice but not that hot.
