 --------  ------------  --------------------------------
    2 1/2  quarts        chopped tomatoes (about 8 pounds)
    2      cups          chopped onions
    2      cups          chopped green peppers
    1 1/4  cups          sugar
    1      tablespoon    ground cinnamon
    1      tablespoon    allspice
    1      tablespoon    cloves
    1      tablespoon    salt
    1      cup           sugar
    1 1/2  cups          white vinegar
 
 This will take a large kettle and you should use one that is fairly heavy so
 that the heat will be evenly conducted throughout with no hot spots.
 Tomatoes have a terrible tendency to "catch" and burn and if that happens,
 your entire batch can be spoiled. In the kettle combine all of the
 ingredients. Bring to a boil over high heat and then imediately reduce the
 heat to low and simmer until the sauce is thick enough for your taste. This
 will take from 1 to 3 hours depending on how much juice the tomatoes
 contained. Stir regularly and often wihile the sauce is cooking. When the
 sauce is thick enough, pour the hot chili sauce into prepared bottles and
 process in a boiling water bath canner. Chili sauce should be processed for
 15 minutes. 
 
 YIELD: about 8 pints
