Home made sweet chilli sauce has no taste
I made this earlier but for the life of me I can't work out why it was wrong- it was just sweet, chilli but no "taste" to it.
100g white wine vinegar 100g sugar 100ml water 1 tsp crushed chilli I boiled and then simmered for 20 mins. To try and get taste I added 5 drops soy, a small pinch of salt and 10 tablespoons Worcester sauce and a table spoon of tomato puree. That helped but something was missing Any ideas? |

Don't use water. Instead of suger and water, use mint sauce, it's what all the chippies around here do to give their chilli sauce sweetness and acidity. You should also add chopped tomatoes and use a blender so you wont really need to boil it.

I ended up making a sweet and sour sauce and combining the two. Turned out ok.
Thanks for suggestions, garlic makes sense to add. Mint sauce sounds unusual- not heard of using that before. Sounds yummy though! |

What chilli did you use? Fresh, jarred, dried?
You want to use some nice fresh ripe red chillies to get the flavour. |

Used dried this time around, probably not the best for flavour I guess
