  • Process until well combined but not pureed.
  • Pour the chilli mixture into a large heavy based saucepan together with the remaining vinegar and caster sugar.

  • Place a lid on the saucepan and simmer for 30 – 40 minutes or until the mixture reduces and thickens.

  • If you like, add a few of the chili seeds to the mixture so it looks pretty.
  • Pour into sterilized jars or bottles.
