DESIGNED BY DISH🍽️, TWEAKED BY TED🌶️

Waiheke has an annual Chilli Sauce competition. For this year's entry I made a sauce which was based on the dish online recipe for Smoky Bourbon Barbecue Sauce, with a few tweaks. The main change was to dial back the tomato component and incorporate a variety of homegrown chillis - to keep it inline with a chilli-sauce theme. I also christened it with a different name, and hence, I present: Ted's Tingle BBQ Sauce. A fairly average photo, I know -- it's hard to make sauce in a jar look exciting. 😂🤣I might be biased as I think it tastes great, but the ultimate judging is done by public vote.

Another busy day in Saucy Ted's kitchen. I bottled a one litre batch of Ted and Perrins Worcestershire Sauce. And I also revisited my recipe for Chilli Oil, which nicely filled my 500ml pourer. This delicious oil with a subtle heat level goes great on pizzas and pasta dishes. Bon appetite!

Saucy Ted has been busy in the test kitchen today, perfecting his entry in this year's chilli sauce fest. "Jambalaya" – a Cajun inspired pizza sauce. The surplus sauce will be frozen and reappear at future pizza nights at the Good Times Pizzeria.

The Pork 'n Pint pizza (caramelised onion, pork and fennel sausage and blue cheese, topped with a Guinness Glaze) was a big hit at the latest pizza night at the Good Times Pizzeria, and will become a regular item on the menu.

31/01/2025

I'm making a Guinness Glaze for the first time today. It's going to used for next week's pizza night at the Good Times Pizzeria— which features a Sausage and Stout pizza with a Guinness Drizzle. All in the day of a sauce maker (that loves beer and pizza).
