Sweet Chilli Sauce

Hello, I'm looking for some pointers, if anybody could be kind enough to help....

I'd like to make a sweet chilli sauce to bottle and refrigerate. I currently have Super Chillies ~50,000 shu, but would like the heat of the sauce to be similar to commercially available ones, so as I can share it with non-chilli heads!

Recipe ideas or links much appreciated.

Thanks!!
 
I've used this recipe with serrano's and a couple red habs before and it's been great http://shesimmers.com/2009/02/how-to-make-thai-sweet-chili-dipping.html .
Super chilli's probably wouldn't be too hot for non chilli heads as the heat tends to be lower than expected in sauces (in my limited experience). The serrano's and red hab sweet chilli sauce I made only had a very slight heat to it once done. 
 
Edit to add-try a batch with what you have on hand and see if it works. If it's still too hot, try to find some red jalapeno's to substitute.
 
Greetings simon04,
Here is a recipe that I make regularly, it's one of my favorites and I almost always have some available. Works very well as a dipping sauce and finishing sauce when grilling..and a little shot of some Ky bourbon added when serving,really adds an enjoyable twist.
The main ingredients are tomato paste and honey. I choose to use Braggs raw vinegar(still has the mother) .. Braggs lends a more mellow and fruity flavor versus the tart/sharpness of distilled vinegars....which IMO work much better for cleaning than consumption.

 (The yield is about 4.5 pints)
 
While I use fermented peppers most of the time (in this case red habs with datil powder added during prep), I have also made it with fresh pods and/or powders when I needed some in a pinch.
 
BTW, I grew super chili's a few years ago for the same reason you mentioned, and my "non-chilihead" friends were appreciative. 
 

Nice recipe link meathead. I'll be giving that one a go in the near future.
