Answer 1

Ingredients:
5 large red chilies
10 garlic cloves
4 thumbs of fresh ginger
8 lime leaves
3 lemon grass stems
1 cup fresh cilantro leaves
1 1/2 cup sugar
3.5 fluid oz cider vinegar
1.5 fluid oz Asia fish sauce
1.5 fluid oz Tamari
4 tablespoons water

De-stem the chilies, peel the ginger and garlic.

Place the chilies, garlic, ginger, lime leaves, lemon grass stems and cilantro in a food processor and blend to a coarse paste.

Heat the sugar with the water in a saucepan until the sugar desolves. Then turn up the heat and boil the syrup until it turns to caramel, this should be around 5 minutes. Stir in the paste mixture and bring back to the boil.

Now add the cider vinegar, fish sauce and tamari and bring to the boil again and simmer for 2 minutes. Pour into steralised jars and allow to cool before enjoying.

Answer 2

5 tbsp. white vinegar
3 tsp. red chili flakes
8 cloves garlic
Pinch of salt
2 fresh red chili peppers, seeded and sliced
1 c. whole canned tomatoes (with juice)
12 oz. Red Plum jam
9 oz. pineapple juice
4 tbsp. apple juice concentrate

Place the first 7 ingredients in a food processor or blender and blend to an even consistency. This will take several minutes and require stopping occasionally to scrape down the sides.
Place the remaining ingredients in a saucepan over medium heat. Pour the blended ingredients in the saucepan. While stirring, let this mixture come to a boil. Reduce heat to simmer and cook for 20 more minutes.

Store in air-tight, sterilized jars. It will keep for at least 2 months, refrigerated.
