Ingredients
56 servings
- •8 cups applesauce
- •6 cups brown sugar
- •4 cups tomato sauce
- •1 ½ cups apple cider vinegar
- •4 teaspoons salt
- •4 teaspoons garlic powder
- •1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
- •2 teaspoons liquid smoke flavoring
- •2 teaspoons chili powder
- •2 teaspoons paprika
- •1 teaspoon black pepper
- •½ teaspoon cayenne pepper
- •¼ teaspoon ground cloves
- •7 1-pint canning jars with lids and rings
Instructions
- Stir applesauce, brown sugar, tomato sauce, vinegar, salt, garlic powder, cinnamon, liquid smoke, chili powder, paprika, black pepper, cayenne pepper, and cloves together in a large pot; bring to a boil, reduce heat to low, and simmer until thickened, 1 1/2 to 2 hours.
- Sterilize jars and lids in boiling water for at least 5 minutes.
- Pour sauce into hot, sterilized jars, filling to within 1/4 inch of the top. Run a knife or thin spatula around the insides of the jars after they have been filled to remove any air bubbles. Wipe the rims of the jars with a moist paper towel to remove any food residue. Top with lids and screw on rings.
- Place a rack in the bottom of a large stockpot and fill halfway with water. Bring to a boil and lower jars into the boiling water using a holder. Leave a 2-inch space between the jars. Pour in more boiling water if necessary to bring the water level to at least 1 inch above the tops of the jars. Bring the water to a rolling boil, cover the pot, and process for 20 minutes.
- Remove the jars from the stockpot and place onto a cloth-covered or wood surface, several inches apart, until cool. Once cool, press the top of each lid with a finger, ensuring that the seal is tight (lid does not move up or down at all). Store in a cool, dark area.
