Sweet Chilli Sauce

A nice easy looking recipe which I'm sure I'll get around to trying.
I believe that the first time he made this up John used fresh tomatoes rather than the purée

Ingredients
- 100ml white wine vinegar (malt will do, but white wine is nicer)
- 100g muscovado (or other light brown) sugar
- 1 tbsp tomato purée
- 2 tbsp water
- 3 hot green chillies, finely chopped, seeds included
Mix the white wine vinegar and sugar together and put in the smallest pan you can find (we're only making a small amount).
Bring to the boil and turn down the heat to a gentle simmer.
The liquid will begin to darken almost immediately as the sugar caramelises.
Mix the tomato puree and water then add to the pan.
Drop in the chillies and continue simmering until the liquid has reduced to the desired thickness.
If you don't want chunks, you can strain the liquid through a metal sieve or tea strainer to get a smooth, glossy sauce, but it's much nicer with the chillies left in.

Hot Artichoke Dip
dip side
See Casey used to be married to Stacy. Who became Staci or Stazi or some shit, and started going with Steve,
then Alex, then Andrew, in fact she pretty much worked through everyone on the haunted house. Especially the women.
In my dreams.
Sigh.
So where was I? Oh yeah, Casey, well Casey used to make a bitchin' artichoke dip for parties. Before he got all depressed about Stacy, who finally settled on Andrew and got married to him too. Or instead. Probably.
And here's his recipe. Via his friend Duncan. Not sure if Stacy went there at all.

Casey notes: I used two green chili peppers and about 8 green/spring onions per batch.
Oh and I might go with a jar of pickled jalapenos and sour cream too, but that's just me.

I made this using
It was pretty good, though mild. Ideally you should use a fairly shallow dish to bake it in.
- 6 spring onions; halved lengthways then finely sliced
- 6 pickled jalapeno slices; minced, instead of the pimento
- the equivalent of a 440g jar of artichoke hearts in oil (drained weight 250g).

Now, I'm not saying I don't trust Duncan or nothing, but just in case here's a similar recipe that I found on the web,
just for comparison purposes.
Ingredients
- 1 (8 oz.) can drained and chopped artichoke hearts (unmarinated).
- 1 (4 oz.) can diced green chilies, drained (or 4oz chopped green chillies).
- 1 cup real mayonnaise
- 1 cup Parmesan cheese
- small bunch green onions, chopped.
Chop artichoke hearts after draining. Mix all ingredients in baking dish. Bake 1/2 hour or until brown and bubbly (350 degrees).
Again I'd probably go with half-mayonnaise half (sour?) cream.
Sundried Tomato Tapenade

Not really a dip, more of a paste.
You could try stuffing white fish with it!

French Onion Dip
dip veg
You can make this with just sour cream, but a touch of yoghurt is quite nice.
Just about any of the ingredients, well, I suppose apart from the browned onions, are optional. You could also try pretty much any combination of cream, sour cream, yoghurt, cream cheese, and mayonnaise to make this dip.
