Seems the tomato crop has been exceptional this year. Here is a tried and true recipe for chili sauce that is generations old.

So the two cups of vinegar go in at the binging of the 3 hours cooking, then you add another 3 cups when desired thickness is reached?

Thanks,
Neal.

The 3 cups is white sugar. Just be sure to stir constantly or the sugar will burn on the bottom of the pot if not dissolved completely.
