Method

  • step 1

    Tip the prepared chillies, onions and garlic into a food processor and blend until quite smooth – the seeds will still be visible.

  • step 2

    Put the oil in a large saucepan over a moderate heat, then add the chilli, onion and garlic paste. Fry for 8-10 mins, stirring frequently, to soften the ingredients, but take care that they don't burn.

  • step 3

    Add the sugar, tomatoes and vinegar, and simmer for a further 15 mins until the sauce has thickened a little. Blend again, if desired, taste and adjust the seasoning if needed. If you like a very smooth texture, strain through a fine sieve. Leave to cool, then store in a sterilised jar. Will keep chilled for up to a month in an airtight jar.

Oh dear, you and your one like don't know what you're on about. Cider can be made from pears.

Hi, thanks for your question. Yes this can be frozen. It will be at its best if used within about 2 months. You can freeze in an ice cube tray then transfer the cubes to a freezer bag once frozen. This way you can just take out what you need. We hope this helps. Best wishes, BBC Good Food Team.
