Serves 6

• 1 head of garlic cloves, peeled
• 6-8 chillies, roughly chopped
• 150g fresh ginger, peeled and roughly chopped
• 2 double kaffir lime leaves, deveined
• 1 ½ cups of caster sugar

Method

1. Sterilise 2 x 390 ml glass jars and their metal lids. Add the honey to your saucepan then refill the jar with warm water and leave it to soak.
2. Puree garlic, chillies, ginger and kaffir lime leaves in a food processor. Place in a saucepan with honey, sugar, honey water from the jar, lime/lemon zest, rice vinegar, fish sauce and soy sauce.
