Canned Spicey Tomato Chili Sauce Recipes

CHILI SAUCE

Steps:

• Peel tomatoes by placing them in boiling water for 30 seconds and then plunging them into cold water. The skin will slide right off. If it doesn't, plunge them in the hot water again.
• Wrap all the whole spices in a little cheesecloth bag.
• Rough chop the remaining ingredients. Don't worry about it being pretty, just chop them up into pieces between 1/4" - 1/2".
• Put all the ingredients into a large stock pot and bring to a boil. Once boiling, reduce heat to a simmer and simmer until thick and reduced by 1/3rd. This will take many hours. 5-10 hours depending on the type of tomatoes you use.
• Taste as you go! If after 3 hours you find you like the taste of it, then remove the spice bag and continue to simmer until thickened. I always leave my spice bag in until the end though.

CANNED SPICEY TOMATO CHILI SAUCE

Steps:

• 1. Sterilize jars and lids. This takes a little while, so start this when tomatoes start to thicken. I place my clean jars in my canner and cover with hot water. Bring this to a boil and boil for at least 10 minutes. Remove jars when ready to use. Pour some of the boiling water from jars back into canner and keep the water boiling so you will be ready to process jars of sauce. In another small pot; sterilize lids in gently boiling water.
• 2. Combine sugar, lime juice, ginger,cilantro, cinnamon, cloves, salt and chipotle pepper in large pot.
• 3. Wash tomatoes and remove any dark spots including stem. Quarter tomatoes and chop in food processer a few at a time. NOTE: do not remove skin. As you chop, pour chopped tomatoes into pot with sugar mixture. Once all tomatoes have been added, stir to combine ingredients.
• 4. Over a medium-high to high heat, bring to a boil and then reduce temperature to a medium heat and simmer. Stirring regularly, simmer until sauce thickens and reduces to half or less of the origninal volume. This will take between 1 1/2 to 2 hours, depending on how high you keep your heat
• 5. When sauce has cooked down sufficiently, remove from heat and fill sterlized jars, leaving 1/4 inch of head space. Wipe rims, apply lids and twist on rings. Process in a boiling water canner for 20 minutes.
