Fruit Chili Sauce

Another great recipe to use up tomatoes is this chili sauce. There really isn't anything it doesn't go with - meat, cheese, sandwiches - even just out of the jar!

The recipe comes from an old cookbook of my Granny's - the British Columbia Women's Institute Centennial Cookbook printed in 1958. Enjoy!


15 ripe tomatoes, peeled and chopped
3 peaches, peeled and chopped
3 pears, peeled, cored and chopped
3 apples, peeled, cored and chopped
3 large onions, chopped
1 red pepper
1 green pepper
4 tsp. salt
2 c. sugar
2 c. vinegar
1/4 c. pickling spices

Put everything in a large pot; tie spices into cheesecloth before putting into pot. Simmer gently until thickened about 2 hours. Pour into sterilized jars, top with hot lids and rings. Process for 10 minutes (1/2 pints).
