Wato's Chilli Sauce

Submitted by Chrissyo

"A recipe that was acquire from a mad military musican who is often seen picking olives from the wild olive trees in the foot hills of Adelaide. He advised that this chilli sauce improves in flavour and strength with age and that it's for internal use only. However, if pain persists see your doctor. Note: This recipe yields 1.5 litres of sauce. I could only put 1 litre in the "Yield" field."

This is the best chilli sauce I've ever had! The sultanas give it a great fruity flavour and it has a nice consistency so it doesn't run everywhere like many commercial sauces. I used some fairly small / hot chillies so half seeded them so it had a good kick without being too over the top.

I won't be buying sweet chilli sauce any more! This is a great recipe - so easy. I kept in all the seeds and membranes so it has a nice kick to it. I think I'm going to make this as Christmas gifts for some friends and family. Thanx Chrissyo.

mummamills served this to us as a condiment to go along with a Philly cheese steak. It's so good I could have just downed the jar!

Thanks you Chrissyo. I made this some time ago and it is brilliant! It keeps gets better with age and it is a huge hit in this family. Thanks again.

this is brilliant, I wanted a recipe that didnt have tomatoes for a base. I only used half the chillies, did everything else as written, smeared on cream cheese on toast, a real morning wake up call!! Ask the mad musician if he has any more recipes !!!!!
