Homemade Chili Sauce

Chili sauce has an inherent sweetness to it. If you would prefer yours a little less sweet, start by adding one tablespoon of brown sugar and then taste after the remaining ingredients have been mixed in, adding the additional brown sugar as desired.

Ingredients
 

  • 1 8-ounce can tomato sauce
  • 2 tablespoons tomato paste
  • 2 tablespoons vinegar (I used white vinegar; cider vinegar would be good, too)
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon chili powder (I used ancho chili powder; regular would be fine)
  • 1/8 teaspoon cinnamon
  • Tabasco to taste (I used 5-6 dashes)
  • Dash each of cloves and allspice (my "dash" equals about half of my 1/8 measuring spoon)

Instructions

  1. Mix all ingredients together in a medium bowl until full blended.
  2. Transfer to a jar and store in the refrigerator. Flavors will develop as the chili sauce sits so make a few hours or a day in advance, if possible.
