Here's another favourite that I've been making for 2 years now, thanks to another forum friend in spain.

Put less sugar in if you don't like it too sweet!

Thai Sweet Chilli Sauce.

2 ounces fresh red chilies, roughly chopped (remove seeds if less heat is desired)
3/4 cup sugar
1 cup white vinegar
4 ounces sultanas, chopped (white raisins)
1-2 clove garlic, finely chopped
2 teaspoons finely chopped fresh ginger
1/2-1 teaspoon salt (to taste)

1 1/1. Place chilies in a food processor with half the vinegar and process until the chilies are finely chopped.
2. Do not be concerned if the chili seeds remain whole.
3. Combine the chili and vinegar mixture with the remaining vinegar, and all other ingredients, in a small stainless steel saucepan (take care adding the salt- you can always add more later if you wish).
4. Stir over low heat until sugar dissolves, bring to the boil briefly, then reduce temperature to allow the mixture to simmer gently until the chilies and sultanas are soft, about 15 to 20 minutes.
5. When cool, puree until almost smooth.
6. Pour into a suitably sized sterilised bottle and seal.

Usually only until the jars are empty!!!!

But I have kept one or 2 jars for 9-10 months when the seal has worked well. I put the hot mix into hot jars like I do with my jams, and hopefully they all vacuum pack themselves.

I'm not the best preserver going, and I do sometimes get failures, but I also still have a jar of rhubarb and ginger jam dated December 2003 that is still okay! At least the other one that I recently finsihed and made the same time was fine!!
