Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
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
will take from 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
