Chili Sauce (Sweet)

Chili Sauce   This recipe came from my mom.  She got it from an old Kerr canning book.

November 2011 - I crossed out the pounds.  Those who have used this by the pound amount have only gotten about half the number of pints.

1 gal (6 ¼ pounds) ripe tomatoes, peeled and cored before measuring

2/3 cup white onions, chopped

1 ½ cups sugar

1 teaspoon nutmeg

¾ teaspoon Tabasco sauce

½ teaspoon curry powder

5 teaspoons salt

2 teaspoons ginger

1 teaspoon cinnamon

1 teaspoon dry mustard

2 cups cider vinegar

Put tomatoes and onions through food chopper.  Add all other ingredients and boil 2 hours or until thick, stirring frequently to prevent scorching.  Pour into sterilized jars to within ½ inch of the top.  Process in boiling water bath 10 minutes.  Yield 5 – 6 pints.  The processing time is for 4500 ft elev.
