A decent sweet chilli sauce

TNGL · 30 Aug 2011 at 17:43

Hi, as the title suggests, I'm in need of a decent sweet chilli sauce which will be suitable for me to dip my chips and everything else in.

Also, please tell me where you can buy it from as well (in the UK).

Thanks.

In the world food isle in tescos there's a few different ones.
I like this one over the rest

But really need to find a specialist one which has much more of a kick.

Okay, thanks for that. Will see if my local Tesco stocks it.

Have you got a recipe?

Skidder · 30 Aug 2011 at 19:06

I've only made it once and I just googled one, just had a look to see if I can remember which one I did and I'm afraid I can't, but they are all pretty simple. Vinegar or rice wine, chilli, garlic, water, sugar type variations

Okay, thanks anyway. I will now consider making it instead, my only worry is that it won't last too long and I'll end up chucking it before I've used it all.

It's high sugar content it should last a while and if you have a few jars, you could bottle some and it'll last years.

I was about to look for a good recipe myself as my chilli's are ready to be picked!

@AcidHell2, a few years will do me well

@SpeedFreak, thanks for the link, although the post and packaging will cost more than the product.

My favourite too but didn't want to say for fear of being branded a food peasant!

highly recommend Linghams

they have sweet / thai and garlic chilli varieties all are good.
have got me addicted to chilli

From previous experience just avoid the ones in the supermarkets "with lime", bought one once by mistake and it was grim. Think it might have been a Blue Dragon, normal Blue Dragon as posted above however is fine.

The mae ploy one is the one that I have used for years. Can't beat it in my opinion.

Encona Thai Sweet Chilli Sauce is pretty nice. I get this one quite often.

robj20 · 12 Sep 2011 at 15:44

I like the Encona one as well.
