This was done by Karen Martini on Better Homes and Gardens. Looks like it takes a long time but is very rich looking and worth a try. The chillies she used were long ones so not that hot I suppose; I have little birdseye ones and would probably only use one.

DH and I really enjoyed this! And so healthy to boot! It has all of my favorite ingredients. I used some very hot red peppers, so wished I had used some gloves when slicing! Thanks, Chickee! Made for Aussie New Zealand Recipe Swap.
