9Chef's Tip: While the sauce is reducing, check the seasoning and see if it need a bit more sugar... some people like it real sweet.

10Chef’s Note: The sweetness of this chili sauce comes from the red bell pepper, and the coconut sugar. I would not leave out the pepper; however, if you feel the sauce is too sweet , you could reduce the amount of the sugar.
-
11Chef’s Note: The heat of this chili sauce comes from the Poblano chili, if you want it hotter, you could always choose a different chili, such as: Habañero, or Serrano.
