Just cropped more chillis so I have made sauce with what is lft of the last crop and these new ones.

Ingredients for red chilli sauce:

Onion, garlic, Trinidad Scorpion chillis, 7 Pot chillis, Red Peppers, Carrot (grated), Red Wine Vinegar, Lemon juice, salt, black pepper, and sugar.

Roasted the red peppers in the griddle pan. Fried up onions and garlic, dropped in chopped roasted peppers later. Poured in vinegar and seasoned then stewed, adding grated carrot. After 45 mins, took off heat and added fresh-squeezed lemon juice, blitzed, then bottled in sterilised bottles.

Ingredients for chilli and apple chutney:

Onion, garlic, green pepper, 8 x Granny Smith, Chocolate Habeneros, 7 Pot Chocolate, Organic Cider Vinegar, salt, pepper, sugar, and lime juice.

Fry half of the onion, garlic, chilli, and green peppers. Add cider vinegar and bring to boil then reduce to simmer. Season. Add the reast of the garlic, onion, and chilli. Core and peel the apples and add. Stew for about an hour, stirring and adding more vinegar if it dries up. Stir and smush a bit so there's no liquid, more like chunky puree. Get it in sterilised jars.

Wash up and then sob because hands are stinging. Try not to touch soft and/or sensitive bits.

Perfect timing for this thread! I was going to make some sauce with the chillies I haven't dried yet. How long does it last for?

If you have sterilised properly, the jars seal correctly, and your pH is less than 4.2 it will live indefinitely until opened and then a few months in the fridge once opened.
