Dolly's hot chili sauce

1 servings

Ingredients

Quantity Ingredient
20 larges Tomatoes, Red Ripe peeled and chopped
6 larges Onions -- ground
12 Hot Peppers, Seeds removed, ground
5½ cup Distilled White Vinegar
3 tablespoons Pickling Salt
4 cups Sugar

Directions

Makes 6 pints.

1. In a large heavy nonaluminum kettle, cook the vegetables with the vinegar and salt over moderate heat, uncovered, until reduced to about half, about 2 hours.

2. Add the sugar and cook until thick, about 1 hour, stirring frequently. The sauce should be bright red. Pour into hot sterilized jars, seal, and process in a boiling water bath for 10 mins.

NOTE: If you want a less fiery sauce, use only a few hot peppers and substitute ground sweet red bell peppers for the rest of the 2 cups.

Also, Dolly Kress says she adds the sugar late in the cooking process so that the sugar does not carmelize and turn the sauce dark in color.
