Chili Sauce

Chili Sauce

Saute on low until translucent and soft (no oil needed, by the time it starts to stick to the bottom of the pan, it will be soft enough to move on):

1 1/2 cups sweet onion, small dice

1/3 cup green pepper, small dice

1 Tablespoon jalapeno, small dice

1/4 teaspoon salt

Add and saute for another minute:

1 medium clove garlic, small dice

Add:

3 cups garden tomatoes, peeled, diced, leave the seeds on the cutting board

1 1/2 Tablespoons apple cider vinegar

1 Tablespoon balsamic vinegar

2 1/2 Tablespoons sugar

1 teaspoon salt

6 oz tomato paste

Simmer on low for 2 1/2 hours, or until it's the consistency you like.

Notes from previous attempts:

Another version (reduce sugar by half for salsa):

15 large tomatoes (try to figure out weight - and canned tomato equivalent)

3 large onions

1 large green pepper

2-3 jalapeno peppers

2 cloves garlic

1/2 cup vinegar

1/2 cup sugar

1 1/2 Tablespoons salt

Cook and simmer 1 1/2 hours.

Bottle and process for 10 minutes.

Katie and Wes add half the sugar.

from michelle: Honestly if using the big pressure cooker pot we quadruple the recipe. I would double it. Should make around 15 pints. Half the sugar (or to your taste). Careful with salt don’t add too much. I also add 2 small cans of tomato paste (so if u double recipe add 4). Helps so u don’t have to simmer it for so long.
