Dennis' Hot Sauce (author's favorite)

Ingredients

  • 4 med. onions chopped
  • 1 cup vinegar
  • 1/4 cup salt
  • 2 Tbs taco spice
  • 1 Tbs chili powder
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 25 large or 50 small tomatoes, peeled and chopped
  • 15 to 20 (about 3 1/2 cups) long green peppers or hot jalapeno for extra hot (use 1/4 of these for mild)
  • 1 Tbs sugar

Instructions

In 5 quart pan cook mixture for 3 - 4 hours. It should be thick and cook down to 1/4 to 1/2 of original mixture. Wash jars in boiling water. Fill jars, seal, and put upside down. Next morning put right side up and store. Use 1/2 pint jars or smaller.

As printed in 1986, this recipe ends by sealing jars at home. Check current canning guidance before using that step.
