@Cornelius_Gotchberg , I have looked at the recipe a bit more closely and converted it all into cup measure so that it doesn't matter if you use metric or imperial measures, just be consistent.
White Sugar. 4 cups
Chilli. 8 cups. ( About 1.3 kg or 3 lb)
Vinegar. 2 cups
Lime juice. 2 cups
Garlic. 20 cloves
Xanthan gum. 1 teaspoon
Or
4 tablespoon cornflour and
8 tablespoons water
Chilli/bell peppers mix to suit your taste, measure after chunking and removal of excess seed clumps, leave in as much or as little seed as you want but minimise central core used.
Xanthan gum or cornflour/ water mix is to thicken sauce. Adjust as to how thick you want sauce.
Finely chop chilli/peppers (use a food processor, the smaller the pieces, the less noticeable the skins at the end) add to pot with sugar, vinegar, lime juice and crushed garlic.
Boil 20 minutes
Add thickener, stir well
Boil 10 minutes
I triple these quantities when I make a batch.
This takes up about 9 liters/2.5 US gallons cold and it makes about 7 liters, just under 2 US gallons when boiled as above. A bit longer boiling will give a thicker sauce.
Tweek to suit your taste
