Title: Sweet Chili Sauce
Post by: Bentley on December 10, 2023, 03:58:45 PM
I like a sauce called Mae Ploy. I am trying to duplicate it. The heat got away from me, the Mae Ploy is very subtle. This one kicks a bit. If a jalapeno is a 3, this will end up being a 5.

I use Mae Ploy all the time.
Very good.
I put a little bit in ham salad yesterday.

Not sure what I will do with the Dross.  Going to try and dry and see if it can be used for anything.  The sauce has a "harshness" to it I cant put my finger on.  Maybe grinding chili whole and cooking does that.  I am not a big fan of vinegar based sauce, but may try and cut a few bottles with that to see how it taste.

Truly a "Colorado" sauce.

With some blending of vinegar & spices, I was able to mitigate the harshness.  Have these 4 bottles, and 2 one liter bottles in the fridge.  No buying Cholula for awhile.  I am extremely please with the finished product.  Will do some field testing with friends tonight!

That's extremely clever.  A nice "save".

To sweet for this dish, will adjust remaining sauce!  I still had no problem eating it! Homemade biscuits, homemade sausage and homemade sauce!

I use the infuse function on my chamber vacuum machine to make Asian chili oil.
