DELICIOUS CHILI SAUCE (CANNING) 
12 lg. ripe tomatoes
12 med. size onions
3 green peppers
3 red peppers
1 tbsp. dry mustard
1 tsp. cinnamon
1 tsp. nutmeg
2 c. white sugar
2 tbsp. salt
3 c. white vinegar
1 tbsp. celery seed or a few stalks of celery

Chop tomatoes and onions. Cut green and red peppers into small pieces. If you use celery stalks, cut celery in small pieces. Cook slowly after all the above ingredients are stirred together in large kettle. Cook 1 1/2 hours or until the chili is as thick as you desire. Stir often or it will stick and scorch. An electric roaster is good to cook the chili in place of a kettle on the stove burner. Use sterilized jars and seal in recommended manner. Good for the family and as gifts.

My mom has made this recipe a few times - very similar to the really good sauce my dad made. Well, it tastes like what I remember. My mom gets about 6 pints, and definitely use a roaster style pot to get the right consistency. She also said she added a little cornstarch to help thicken it.

Have you tried roasting the tomatoes in the oven first?

I have used this recipe twice. It was good both times. The second time I added yellow crook neck squash for color. I also used red, yellow, green, chocolate colored and orange peppers from the garden. Hey, you use what you got. Thanks for a good recipe.
