Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
2 large onions -- diced
10 medium tomatoes, peeled -- (5 pounds)
Or two 28-oz cans whole tomatoes
5 cloves garlic -- minced
1 teaspoon chili powder
1 teaspoon leaf oregano
1 teaspoon leaf thyme
1 tablespoon sugar
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
4 habanero peppers -- optional
Or 2-3 jalapeno peppers -- optional
1 tablespoon flour
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1 tablespoon wine vinegar

Place all ingredients except flour, oil, and vinegar in crock pot and stir
well.

Cover and cook on Low setting for 8 to 10 hours.

Remove cover and turn to High setting for one hour to reduce excess moisture.

Stir in flour, oil and vinegar. Allow to cool.

Force through a sieve or place in blender and puree until smooth. Note
that a sieve will remove bitter skins and seeds, and is therefore a better,
if slightly more tedious choice.

Makes about 8 cups (64 2-tablespoon servings).

NOTES : This hot taco sauce can be adjusted to suit your taste by modifying
the number of peppers. Dried, whole peppers are an easy alternative to
coring and seeding.
