directions
- NOTE OF CAUTION: This sauce, while cooking, will "bubble and burp". Do not cover completely, but a spatter screen or a lid partially closed is a good idea. Whenever cooking anything that has this much sugar in it BE CAREFUL!
- Sweat all ingredients in step 1 IN A NON -ALUMINUM POT until clear, do not brown.Use more garlic if you like or roast the garlic and onions first.
- Add remaining ingredients and simmer on low until it is as thick as you like it. This could take any where form 1 to 2 hours.
- Do not skim. When using stir first to incorporate butter back into the sauce. That's where a lot of the flavor is.
- NOTE: Sri Racha Chili Sauce is a thick Thai style chili sauce available in most markets around the world now. If you can not find it use Tabasco BUT DO NOT USE AS MUCH. TABASCO IS A LOT MORE SOUR than Sri Racha Sauce is. If you like it spicy-hot just add jalapenos or chilis while it is cooking but keep in mind that it cooks and reduces for quite a while and it will get very spicy if you use a lot of peppers.
- After cooking let cool and store in any non-reactive container (no aluminium). Keep it refrigerated and it will last "forever". Only take out what you need and return the rest to the frig.
