Mom's Chili Sauce image

This was my mother's recipe and I'm posting it here while I can still read the page it's on. I've tweaked it slightly - she didn't have access to jalapeno peppers. If you run out during the winter or of you're like me and dislike the mess of peeling hot tomatoes, you can use 4 28 oz. cans diced tomatoes

Time 4h30m

Yield 8 500 mL jars

Number Of Ingredients 13

4 quarts tomatoes, peeled and chopped
1 cup white onion, finely chopped
1/2 cup sweet red pepper, pith and seeds removed, finely chopped
1/2 cup sweet yellow pepper, pith and seeds removed, finely chopped
1 cup celery, finely chopped
2 jalapeno peppers, finely chopped, seeds and pith removed if desired
2 cups white sugar
2 tablespoons salt
1/4 teaspoon cayenne (or more to taste)
1 tablespoon whole cloves
9 inches cinnamon sticks
1 tablespoon mustard, seed
3 cups vinegar

Steps:

  • Combine the vegetables, sugar, salt and cayenne in a heavy pot; place over low heat and stir until sugar is dissolved. Cook slowly, stirring occasionally , about 2 hours or until mixture thickens.
  • Add whole spices tied in a square of cheese cloth (don't use the powdered versions, they make the chili sauce look muddy), and the vinegar.
  • Cook until very thick.
  • Pour into hot sterile jars; seal at once.
