The chillies were a piffling off their best, slightly wrinkly but all the same looking pretty good. I conduct maintain to accept the lot home, besides skilful to instruct out it. What a bargain! I e'er purchase chilli sauce because fresh ruddy chillies are quite expensive over hither around £10/kg normal price, it does non build economical feel to build my own. Having bought this pocketbook of chillies I was excited to build a batch of chilli sauce again.
