Chili Sauce

I don't can many things but this chili sauce recipe is awesome! It is a bit tangy and sweet. It is good with chips, mixed into dips (over cream cheese), cooked with a roast, or even used on a sandwich. I love it!


12-14 lbs tomatoes, chopped
4 cups celery, chopped
2 1/2 cups onion, diced
2 bell peppers, chopped (red or green)
3 sticks cinnamon
4 cups cider vinegar
2 tablespoons salt
4 1/2 cups brown sugar
1 tablespoon dry mustard
1 1/2 teaspoons ground cloves

Combine tomatoes, celery, onion, and bell pepper; simmer about 1 1/2 hours. Add remaining ingredients. Continue cooking 1 1/2 hours. Remove cinnamon sticks. Fill hot pint jars to within 1/2 inch of top; apply hot canning jar lids and rings. Process in a water bath canner about 30 minutes.
