Nanas Homemade Chili Sauce Recipe

	Crabhappychick / All my dishes 1 year, 5 months ago This was my Nana's recipe...and I just love her note about using the surplus liquid for soup. Waste not, want not! Great old-fashioned values! Although this was my grandmother's, it may go much further back in the family. Better than Heinz! Prep:60m Cook:60m Servings:24	Crabhappych

Ingredients

1 gallon ripe tomatoes (6 1/4 pounds)

2 cups onion, chopped

2 cups sweet red pepper, chopped

3 tablespoons salt

1 tablespoon mustard seed

1 tablespoon celery seed

3 tablespoons pickling spice

2 bay leaves

1 1/2 cups sugar

2 1/2 cups vinegar

Directions

Wash tomatoes; remove stems & crush. Combine all ingredients, except spices & vinegar, in a preserving kettle. Cook over high heat to boiling, adjust heat to medium. Cook for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Strain off 1 quart surplus liquid - use for soup. Tie spices in a bag. Add to tomato mixture. Cook until thick, stirring frequently to prevent sticking. Add vinegar; cook until right consistency, or until all excess liquid has disappeared

Remove spice bag.

Pour into sterilized jars & seal.

NOTE: These directions are exactly as my grandmother wrote them down. This stuff really is the best!

Got my five! I make my own condiments for the most part, and this will be a lovely addition! Technique is very similar to the ketchup I make. Thank you so much for the generous post!
