Servings: persons

2 (28 ounce) cans Italian plum tomatoes, undrained
1 cup cider vinegar
2 medium apples, peeled,cored and diced
1 large onion, peeled and diced
1 cup finely chopped celery
3/4 cup packed brown sugar
2 teaspoons coarse salt
1 teaspoon ground allspice
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper

1
Use large tins (28-ounce) of plum tomatoes and do NOT drain.
2
Combine all ingredients in a large heavy pot.
3
Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to a simmer and cook, uncovered, until thick-- about 90 minutes.
4
Tomatoes will break apart as they cook, although you can help this along by pressing them against the side of the pot with a wooden spoon.
5
Stir chili sauce often as it cooks.
6
Pour chili sauce into hot, sterilized jars and seal.
7
Process in a hot water bath if you wish, but I store these jars in the back of my fridge-- they don't take up too much room because they seem to be eaten quickly!
8
Recipe makes seven cups; I always do up 2 pint jars for my family then put the rest in 1-cup size jars to give away.
