Singapore Red Chili Sauce
Preserving Method: Water-Bath-Canning
Makes about 6 (8 oz) half pints
This chili sauce could be described as an Asian version of Tabasco sauce. Although it makes a nice accompaniment to cold roast chicken or beef and is great on hot dogs, this sauce is particularly delicious with Asian dishes such as noodles. But use it sparingly: it is very hot.
You will need
· 2 1/2 cups white vinegar
· 2 1/2 cups granulated sugar
· 4 cups chopped hot red chili peppers, such as Holland (Dutch), Fresno or jalapeño
· 1 1/2 cups sultana raisins, rinsed
· 1/4 cup chopped garlic
· 1 Tbsp grated ginger root
· 2 tsp salt
