2 1/2 quarts chopped tomatoes (about 8 pounds)

2 cups chopped onions

2 cups chopped green peppers

1 1/4 cups sugar

1 tablespoon ground cinnamon

1 tablespoon allspice

1 tablespoon cloves

1 tablespoon salt

1 cup sugar

1 1/2 cups white vinegar

This will take a large kettle and you should use one that is fairly heavy so

that the heat will be evenly conducted throughout with no hot spots.

Tomatoes have a terrible tendency to "catch" and burn and if that happens,

your entire batch can be spoiled. In the kettle combine all of the

ingredients. Bring to a boil over high heat and then imediately reduce the

heat to low and simmer until the sauce is thick enough for your taste. This

1 to 3 hours depending on how much juice the tomatoes

contained. Stir regularly and often wihile the sauce is cooking. When the

sauce is thick enough, pour the hot chili sauce into prepared bottles and process in a boiling water bath canner. Chili sauce should be processed for 15 minutes. YIELD: about 8 pints - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
