Peach Chili Sauce

Ingredients:

• 6 cups tomatoes, peeled and seeded, then chopped
• 6 cups peaches, peeled, pits removed, and chopped
• 2 cups chopped onions
• 1 cup chopped celery
• 1 - 2 hot peppers, to taste
• 1 1/2 cups cider vinegar
• 1 Tbsp. pickling spice
• 2 tsp. salt
• 2 cup sugar

Directions:

Tie spices up in cheesecloth sack. Mix all of the ingredients except the sugar in a large pot. Bring to a boil over high heat. Skim any scum that comes to the top. Reduce heat to medium low and simmer gently, uncovered, for about an hour, until it has thickened. Add the sugar, stirring to combine. Return to a boil and skim again. Simmer for another half an hour, stirring occasionally. Remove spice bag.

Spoon into canning jars, making sure to wipe the rim thoroughly. Leave 1/2 inch head space. Process for 15 minutes for pints and half pints.

Makes about 8 cups.
