Ingredients
- 1 6 pound 4 ounce can crushed tomatoes (Angela Mia)
- Jalapeno peppers to taste (see guide below)
- 3 onions finely chopped
- 1 cup vegetable oil
- 1/2 cup vinegar
- 7 teaspoons salt
- 6 cloves garlic finely chopped
- 3 tomatoes finely chopped
Directions
-
Start with the tomatoes in a large container and add the remaining ingredients.
-
Add the jalapeno peppers last so you can judge the “hotness” as you taste it.
-
Individual preference will dictate how much salt and garlic to add.
-
This recipe makes about 10 pints of hot sauce.
-
Spoon into jars and refrigerate for best results. I suppose you could process in a hot water bath caner…just follow the canning guide for tomatoes.
