Best Variety for Sweet Thai Chilli

[JAHaworth]

Hello all.
I want to grow some Chillies to make my own Sweet Thai Chilli Sauce. I'm currently growing Serano & African Birds Eye Chillis for this purpose. Will they be OK for the task? I really love they stuff but find its not hot enough from the super market.
What type does everyone in here use for Sweet Thai Chilli? (Apart from teh obvious Thai Chilli)

Cheers

African Birdseye is not much of a tasty pepper.
I mainly use it for heat.
You obviously need something sweet.

I have Red Habanero & Serano growing as well. I'll just try and see how it turns out.

Depends on heat you like but when we did the sweet chilli we used a commercial cayenne type like the ones you find at woolies, we would scrape say 80 percent of pods out so no seeds and not much placental tissue to keep heat down
(mind you most of commercial caynes are't overly hot so you could probably leave seeds in.)

I have tasted sweet chilli made from trinadad congo peppers and it was lovely and had good heat.
SoI guess just give it a go and see how it goes.

I use 3 different chilie's, Jalapeno (ripen on the plant to full red),Hanoi Red and Black Cuban all fully ripen on plant's. Jalapeno and Black Cuban if fully ripen on the plant have a some what sweeter taste when let ripen to a red. Just the way I make it.
