Hot Chili Sauce

Submitted by Kirra

"I've been making this sauce since 1988. My son, David, loved it and I've been making it ever since. Add some to almost any savoury dish. It's especially good to serve at the table when only some like it HOT!! Use the same recipe with less chillis and even children will enjoy it."
