....I would add a lot more chilli to this recipe
agapanthus
Made a batch of this but used white wine vinegar instead of malt, also added dried chillies from last year about 3 habaneros a couple of pinnochio's nose a few cayenne and some pretty in purple. Had some tonight with the runner bean curry...it was nice but needs to mature for a bit!!
