Chili Sauce - From Amanda



  • 1 quart jar home-canned tomatoes (or 7-10 fresh tomatoes, blanched and peeled)
  • 1 green bell pepper, chopped
  • 1 red bell pepper, chopped
  • 1/2 onion, chopped
  • 2-3 cloves garlic
  • 1/4 cup cider vinegar
  • 4 tsp lime juice
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 1 tsp garlic salt
  • dash hot sauce
Saute peppers, onions, and garlic in a little butter or oil until softened. Puree with tomatoes in blender, in batches if necessary, and return to pan. Add remaining ingredients and bring to a boil. Continue on a medium boil uncovered (use a screen to reduce splatter) for 30 minutes or until well reduced.

Use on fries or hamburgers, as a sloppy joe base, in BBQ pork, on meatloaf, even as a pizza sauce!
Sandy Godfrey made some yummy meatballs at an enrichment activity using costco meatballs in a crockpot with chili sauce and ginger ale. My mom-in-law likes chili sauce on her eggs and on white beans and ham.
