Chili Sauce, we use it like ketchup


I fill my large 12 quart pot up allowing the tomatoes to heap over. Once it has cooked down about 3/4 from the top I add the following. 

2 3/4 cup of sugar
1 large onion chopped
2 green peppers chopped 
1/4 cup salt
2 1/2 cups of white vinegar

Put the following items in a spice bag...
3 tsp ground cloves
3 tsp ground cinnamon 
2 tsp ground nutmeg
2 tsp ground ginger


Allow the mixture to simmer until it is the thickness you desire for ketchup. Fill your warm pint jars and water bath or steam can for 20 minutes.

I like a smooth chili sauce so I do run my batch through a Victorian Strainer prior to filling the jars. You can find these plastic bottles at a lot of places to use once you open a jar.
