Chili Sauce
Ingredients:
4 quarts red ripe tomatoes, chopped
5 large onions, chopped
4 sweet red peppers, chopped
2 cups cider vinegar
1 cup brown sugar
1 stick cinnamon, broken up
1 tablespoon yellow mustard seed
2 teaspoons celery seed
1 1/2 teaspoons ground ginger
1 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1 teaspoons peppercorns
Directions:
- Tie spices in a cheesecloth bag.
- Combine with all other ingredients in a heavy enameled kettle and stir. Bring the mixture quickly to a boil, stirring constantly. Reduce heat and simmer until sauce thickens, about 3 to 4 hours. Sauce should be thicker than ketchup, but not as thick as jam.
- Monitor closely, stirring often, to prevent scorching.
- Pack in hot sterile jars and process in boiling water bath for 15 minutes.
- Makes 5-6 pints.
