Chili Sauce
I’ve got to admit I’ve never been a really big fan of bottled chili sauce. The kids used it on hot dogs for a while, but I’ve always been a mustard and relish type of guy. Anyway, I much prefer the flavor of this chili sauce to the kind found in stores. There are enough veggies in it to give it something more than a glorified ketchup taste. It keeps well in the refrigerator for weeks, and you could freeze it if you wanted to.
