Sweet chili peppers sauce is one of our family’s favorite sauces that we are using in the majority of the foods when we want to eat something spicy. It’s sweet, it’s spicy and it’s very easy to make at home. Even if you are not a fan of spicy dressings, you should try this fantastic recipe.

The biggest advantage is that you can make it as spicy as your family prefers to eat.

As we know, Sweet Chili sauce is one of the most popular sauces in Thai cuisine. In its homeland, this dressing is traditionally served with various fried chicken dishes. Sweet chili pepper sauce in Thai means “chicken dipping sauce”. As the name of the dressing suggests, it has a sweet-pungent balanced flavor.

Personally, we are using this sauce along with the meat but you can also use it with some vegetables or when you’re making some quick sandwiches, glazes, or marinades. For example, I used this chili sauce to make some delicious sweet chili chicken wings.

All over the world, you will not find a single Asian restaurant where you will not find a sweet chili sauce in the dishes.

Even though you can easily buy ready-made sauce from the supermarkets, I bet that you will get in love with this one, and you will prefer to make your own delicious homemade sweet chili pepper sauce from scratch.

Let’s find out how to make this delicious sweet chili sauce.

What ingredients will we need for that?

  • 1.1 lbs (500 g.) of Chili Peppers
  • 2 Bell Peppers
  • 8 fl. oz (235 ml.) of White vinegar
  • ¾ lbs (340 g.) of Sugar
  • ⅔ cup of Honey
  • 1 teaspoon of Salt
  • 2 cloves of garlic

How to make a homemade chili pepper sauce:

First of all, we will start with the bell peppers. Cut them into small cubes.

Chopped red bell peppers

I cut them with a knife, but if you want, you can also cut them using a kitchen robot.

After you are done with bell peppers, wrap a pair of gloves to protect your hands from burns (and of course be careful not to touch your face or other parts of the skin with your hands because it will cause burns).

Removing the stems from chili peppers

Remove the stems from the peppers and prepare them for chopping.

If you have found very hot peppers, remove the seeds from them. Or if you like spicy food, or if the peppers are not too hot, then you can leave the seeds in them.

If the peppers are hot, you can control the spicy level by the number of seeds that you will decide to keep. The more seeds you will leave in the sauce, the more piquant chili sauce you will obtain as a result. I used a robot to chop the hot peppers, and I decided to leave almost all the seeds because my family prefers spicy sauces but also and the chili peppers this time wasn’t too spicy.

Quick Note: Use a stainless steel pan because this hot pepper sauce will color your utensils. If you are going to use a ceramic vessel, there is a high risk that you will not be able to clean it after that.

Put the pan on low heat, and let it boil for 30-45 minutes. Our goal is to soften all the ingredients a little and to make it more comfortable for us to blend them later.

Now we can prepare the jars where we will keep the sauce. I recommend using small pots, as this product is not consumed in large quantities. There is no need to sterilize jars and lids. It is enough to wash them well and to let them dry.

After the vegetables have cooked enough, take the pan from the heat. Using a manual blender, we pass the composition well until we get the desired consistency.

Put the pan back on the fire, and continue to cook everything on a small heat until you get the consistency of the sauce similar to honey.

Finally, add the honey into the sauce.

Leave the product on the stove until it starts to boil again. Immediately after it starts to boil, stop the hob and pour the product into the jars, and close them tightly.

Pour the sweet chili sauce into jars

Put the jars upside down and let them cool down.

After they are cooled, the product is ready to be served or to be stored.

I’m pretty sure that after you make this sauce, you will want to use it in almost every dish that you will prepare. Also, you can use this chili pepper sauce to marinate different types of meat. As an example, you can check our recent recipe of Sweet Chili Glazed Chicken Wings.
