Sweet Chilli Sauce The Ultimate Condiment - Tasting and Reviews

Two shelves in my refrigerator are reserved for condiments, bar-b-q sauces of every kind, mustards, Asian sauces, ketchups, dozens of hot sauces, etc. etc. A new addition, sweet chili sauce, is a result of our recent trip to Australia where it seems to be pretty much the condiment of choice.

A sweet and spicy sauce of Thai and Chinese roots it has many flavorful uses. In Australia they serve it in its pure state, with burgers, Asian dishes, lamb and more, or they mix it with sour cream and serve it as a dip or serve it on cream cheese. It is delicious with chips or "chups" as the say in Australia. As well as many other dishes.

Once back in the States I embarked upon a quest for the best source for Sweet Chili Sauce.
