Thickening sweet chilli sauce
« on: November 15, 2011, 05:08:42 am »
I've made the sweet chilli (dipping) sauce from the EDC cookbook twice now and both times it's delicious, but too runny for my liking. I'm wondering what I could use to thicken it to make it more like a pouring sauce; in my pre-Thermo days I'd have added a small amount of cornflour but would this work? Is there something else that other people have used successfully?
Cheers

Cornflour works! I put in a heaped teaspoon to go with the cookbook quantities, and it's come out lovely and thick, yet still pourable. Hasn't altered the taste at all :)

Helenis, if you want a really nice sweet chilli sauce I can highly recommend the sweet chilli sauce in condiments and sauces by thermoconvert! It is to die for and everyone that has tasted it wants the recipe!!!
