Chili Sauce

Ingredients

  • Chili Sauce (spicy)
  • Makes about 6 pints.
  • 2 cups sweet green peppers, chopped
  • 2 cups chopped onions
  • 24 large tomatoes(4 quarts peeled, cored, chopped)
  • 1 tsp ground allspice
  • 1 tbsp salt
  • 1 1/4 cup vinegar
  • 1 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1 tbsp celery seed
  • 1 tsp ground ginger
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1 tsp ground cloves

Instructions

  1. Hot Pack
  2. Combine and add all ingredients to a heavy sauce pan
  3. or cast iron skillet. Bring to a boil and simmer 1 to
  4. 2 hours or till desired thickness has been reached.
  5. Stir often to prevent sticking. Pack hot jars with hot
  6. prepared tomato mixture leaving 1/2-inch head space.
  7. Remove air bubbles. Wipe rim and screw threads and
  8. adjust lids and screw bands.
  9. Boiling Water Bath Canner
  10. 1/2 Pints 15 minutes
  11. Pints 15 minutes
  12. After processing, remove jars immediately, place on a
  13. rack to cool.
  14. Test for Seal.
  15. Note: just because I'm paranoid about food safety, I would add a 1/8 tsp of citric acid to each cup jar, 1/4 tsp per pint jar before capping to bring the PH into a safe level without affecting the taste of the product. But that's just me.

 

Thanks Jeanne!
