Chili Sauce image

Chili Sauce recipe from "Joy of Cooking". Posted in reply to a request. (NOTE: I use my blender as a measuring pitcher. I scald and peel tomatoes until I reach the Qt. line, then add pepper and onion, and puree all together. I keep a tally sheet, because it's easy to lose track when dealing with a large quantity. This method works well for me.)

Time 3h30m

Yield 8 pints

Number Of Ingredients 15

8 quarts ripe tomatoes
6 green peppers, seeded
1 tablespoon dried hot peppers or 1 tablespoon crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
6 large white onions
2 cups brown sugar
3 cups cider vinegar (or less)
3 tablespoons coarse salt
1 tablespoon black pepper
1 tablespoon ground allspice
1 teaspoon ground cloves
1 teaspoon ginger
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1 teaspoon nutmeg
1 teaspoon celery seed
2 tablespoons dry mustard

Steps:

  • Use a large porcelain or stainless kettle.
  • Scald, peel and quarter tomatoes.
  • Put peppers, pepper pods, and onions through a food grinder.
  • Add remaining ingredients and simmer SLOWLY until thickened, about 3 hours.
  • Stir frequently to prevent scorching, and do not scrape bottom of pan.
  • Add salt if needed.
  • Put sauce in sterilized pint jars and process in a water bath for 10 minutes, 20 minutes for quarts.
  • TIP: I mix this in my porcelain canning kettle, then separate it into two heavy stainless steel pans to cook. There is less chance of scorching when cooking a smaller quantity, and a heavier-bottomed pan helps, too.
