HOMEMADE CHILI SAUCE



Homemade Chili Sauce image

Chili sauce is a staple in many of my recipes, and at this time of the year, it's part of an appetizer that I use at Thanksgiving, and when we have our open house days during the holidays. I am a fan of Heinz Chili Sauce; however, I like to make my own homemade version. So, let's make some chili sauce

1/4 c yellow onion, finely chopped

  • 5. Chef's Note: Many people use chili sauce in place of ketchup, and it is excellent on a good juicy burger, or hotdog.
  • 6. Chef's Note: The appitizer recipe I use this in is my mini meatballs in a grape/chili sauce recipe. The incorporation of this homemade sauce, and using my meatball recipe, makes for a wonderful treat for your guests.
  • 7. Keep the faith, and keep cooking.

Tips:

  • Choose ripe and fresh tomatoes: The quality of your tomatoes will greatly impact the taste of your chili sauce. Look for tomatoes that are firm, plump, and have a deep red color.
  • Use a variety of peppers: Different types of peppers will give your chili sauce a unique flavor profile. For a mild sauce, use bell peppers. For a medium sauce, add some poblano or ancho peppers. And for a hot sauce, use cayenne or habanero peppers.
  • Roast your peppers: Roasting your peppers before adding them to the sauce will deepen their flavor and give them a smoky taste.
  • Use fresh garlic and onions: Fresh garlic and onions will add a lot of flavor to your chili sauce. Make sure to chop them finely so that they distribute evenly throughout the sauce.
  • Add some spices: Spices like cumin, chili powder, and oregano will give your chili sauce a warm and inviting flavor. Experiment with different spices to create a sauce that you love.
  • Simmer your sauce for at least 30 minutes: Simmering the sauce will allow the flavors to meld together and develop. The longer you simmer it, the more flavorful it will be.
