I just did up a batch of 12 pints of chili sauce. YUMMY.
This batch is a little watery because I’ll be adding it to ribs, roasts, and other dishes.
This recipe is from my mom’s recipies:
12 quarts tomatoes
8 medium onions
4 sweet peppers
2 handfuls of pickling salt
1/2 tsp celery seed
2c cider vinegar.
Cook til almost thick
Add 8 c brown sugar
cook til thick
Jar.

When I think of chili sauce, I think of something like this.

That seems more like the smoked (burned, I let it scorch, tastes smoked though) tomato basil that we whipped up and canned.
Why is it called chili sauce?

I as well think of hot and spicy when I here chili sauce, that’s why I thought you may have forgot to list chilis ;)

Depends on your heritage or background … my German/Hungarian grandparents and their parents before them, always added sugar to any type of homemade tomato based sauce. I do as well and passed it down to my daughter and son’s too.

that’s probably it, GramT… my great-grandparent was a Hungarian and one of the other family recipes is “Great-Grandmother Almas (hungarian) Sugar Cookies.. yummy.
