Home Canned Chili Sauce

Ingredients:
24 peeled tomatoes (med. to big)
1 large green pepper
3 med. onions
2 cups vinegar
3 cups sugar
1 TBSP. cinnamon
1/2 tsp. allspice
3 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. cloves
1/2 tsp. ginger
1/2 tsp. nutmeg
1/2 tsp. dry mustard
1 - 2 hot peppers

Directions:
Chunk it all or blend it - it doesn't matter.  Simmer in a crockpot for 3 hours or so with lid off so it gets thick and cooked down.  Process in pint jars for 20 minutes.  This is good in my Baked Beans Recipe with Quesidillas or over a Sunday Roast.

Baked Beans

This delicious baked bean recipe is made with a home canned chili sauce that is out of this world.  Can your sauce in the fall from your garden produce and then throw this recipe all together for dinners throughout the year.

Ingredients:
3 cans of pork and beans (take out the little fat square, and you can drain
them if you want)
3 cans of other kinds of beans- drained (1 kidney, 1 garbanzo, 1
black - or all of one kind)
1 tsp. liquid smoke
1 full cup of brown sugar (I use even more than that most times)
1 pint jar of home canned chili sauce
1 lb. of one of the following; bacon, sausage, hamburger, ham, little
smokies, hotdogs  (we like sausage or bacon the best)

Directions:
Put all ingredients in a crockpot.  Let it cook for 2 hours or until it's thick.
