Sweet Chilli Sauce Recipe


Sweet and tangy, sweet chilli sauce is one of my all time favourites.  It's really easy to make and lasts a good few weeks in the fridge.  Way nicer than the ready made stuff.


Ingredients:
Chillis 
Garlic
Cayenne Pepper
Soy Sauce
Red Wine Vinegar
Sugar
Cornflour


About half a bottle of red wine vinegar.


Add the sugar.


And a dash of soy sauce.


A sprinkle of cayenne pepper.


Finely dice the chillies


And the garlic.


Fry in the sauce.


Until it boils.


Add cornflour to the desired consistency.


And bottle.


Serve with chicken, noodles and stir fry veg.

Hurstwood Reservoir, Burnley Walk


A nice easy walk for today.  6km around Hurstwood reservoir.


We took the pram today and set off from Worsthorne church.

How freaking adorable is this outfit!?!


A long walk up the hill.


With some stunning views.


Pendle hill from the other side.


It's a fair climb.


All the way to the top.


Before descending down to the reservoir.


Little Miss had tired legs - not surprising after pushing the pram most of the way!

Check out those Maxaloones protecting her knees from the sun.


Alongside the reservoir.


And onto the wood.


Which was stunning.


There are some benches just beyond the wood where we stopped for a picnic.


Before continuing through Hurstwood.


And along the road back to Worsthorne.
