Grandma Jeppson's Chili Sauce

The voices woke me early this morning. So by 4:30 A.M. I was pealing tomatoes for chili sauce.

My beloved Grandma Perry, who was a pretty great cook, made terrible pot roast. All my life, I've heard that the only thing that made her roast edible was her mother's chili sauce.  This is my first attempt.

Grandma Jeppson's Chili Sauce
  • 36 large tomatoes
  • 6 large onions
  • 4 large green peppers
  • 2 cups vinegar
  • 2 cups sugar
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp cloves
  • 1 tsp allspice
  • 2 tsp cinnamon
All this boiled down to 14 pints, which I water bathed for 30 minutes.
