Grandma Ghilain’s Chili Sauce
This is a recipe which has been handed down in my husband’s family.
1 peck of tomatoes
2 cups ground onions
1 cup bell peppers
2 cups brown sugar
3 cups apple cider vinegar
1/4 cup salt
1 teaspoon cayenne flakes ( I use a bit of freshly chopped)
3 teaspoons ground ginger ( I use fresh)
3 teaspoons cinnamon
1 teaspoon ground cloves
Make a small herb bag out of cheese cloth in which to place the herbs. This will be tossed in with the other ingredients and removed before processing. Stem and quarter the tomatoes. Combine all of the ingredients and boil in a heavy stainless steel pan until the mixture has reduced by half. Remove herb bag and ladle sauce into sterilized pint jars. Process with hot water bath method for 10 minutes.
