Thanks...that does look good.

However, what I'm looking for is a sweet chili sauce...the kind with tomatoes, brown sugar, etc.

I understand that today "chili sauce" means different from what it did back in the day.

Found this in a Thai cookbook I have....

Sweet Chile Sauce

Prep Time: 2 minutes

Cook Time: 15 minutes

Total Time: 17 minutes

Yield: Makes 1/2 Cup of Sauce

Ingredients:
•1/2 cup rice vinegar (or substitute white vinegar)
•1/2 cup + 2 Tbsp. white sugar
•1/4 cup water
•3 Tbsp. fish sauce
•2 Tbsp. sherry (or cooking sherry)
•3 cloves garlic, minced
•1/2 to 1 Tbsp. dried crushed chili (1 Tbsp. makes spicy-hot sauce)
•1+1/2 Tbsp. cornstarch dissolved in 3-4 Tbsp. cool water

Preparation:

1.Place all ingredients - except the cornstarch-water mixture - in a sauce pan or pot. Bring to a rolling boil.
2.Reduce heat to medium and let boil for 10 minutes, or until reduced by half. (Note that the vinegar will be quite pungent as it burns off. Generally, I find rice vinegar less strong than regular white vinegar).
3.Reduce heat to low and add the cornstarch-water mixture. Stir to incorporate and continue stirring occasionally until the sauce thickens (about 2 minutes).
4.Remove from heat and taste-test. You should taste “sweet” first, followed by sour, then spicy and salty notes. If the sauce isn’t sweet enough, add a little more sugar. If not spicy enough, add more chili.
5.Pour sauce into a small bowl or jar and serve as a condiment with chicken, fish, and seafood, or as a dip with finger foods such as chicken wings, shrimp, or spring rolls. Also makes an excellent marinade for grilled chicken, fish, or seafood.

I haven’t tried these yet, and I use the Heinz Chili sauce in my meatloaf and I know that one doesn’t have the fish sauce in it. So, I’m not sure what type you are looking for. Here are two similar but different

This one is supposed to be like the Heinz Chili sauce so I may have to try it.
