Chilli Sauce

Chilli sauce is a spicy condiment made from chilli peppers, vinegar, sugar, garlic and salt. It comes in countless varieties, ranging from sweet and tangy Thai sauces and Mexican salsas to fiery habanero blends. The best-known examples include Sriracha and Tabasco. It is used as a dip, stirred into marinades, soups and sauces, or simply drizzled over finished dishes. Thanks to its high acidity and preservatives, it has a long shelf life. The heat level varies considerably depending on the type of peppers used and the manufacturer's recipe.
