Ingredients
  

  • 100 g mixed chillies and/or hot peppers or 1 cup
  • 160 ml vinegar (white, apple cider, rice, or wine vinegar) or ⅔ cup
  • 160 ml water or ⅔ cup
  • 2-3 garlic cloves, peeled
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1-2 tbsp sugar

Instructions
 

  • First, while wearing gloves, chop the chillies. Get rid of the stem and some of the seeds and/or white flesh (if you don't like it too spicy). I recommend sticking to either all green or all red chillies to keep a vibrant colour.
  • Peel the garlic and toss all of the ingredients into a blender. Blend until smooth.
  • Pour the spicy liquid mixture into a pan and bring to a simmer. Simmer on low for 20 minutes until it has reduced down into a thicker consistency.
  • Pour into a squeezable bottle and store in the fridge. If you don't have a bottle you can store it in an air-tight container, jar, or plastic bag (cut the corner of the plastic bag to drizzle over foods). Keep in the fridge for up to 3 months.

Notes

This recipe works with red and green chillies, bird's eye chillies, habanera chilli peppers, and even sweet peppers if you wanted to add a different flavour or tone down the spice.
