How to Make Chili Sauce Low Fat

  1. Finely chop 1 large onion, 2 cloves garlic, and 2 green bell peppers. Roughly chop 2 (28 ounce) cans crushed tomatoes, 1 (15 ounce) can tomato sauce, and 1 (15 ounce) can tomato paste.
  2. In a large, heavy-bottomed pot or Dutch oven, sauté the onion, garlic, and bell peppers in 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat until softened (about 5 minutes).
  3. Add the crushed tomatoes, tomato sauce, tomato paste, 1 teaspoon chili powder, 1/2 teaspoon cumin, 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional), 1 teaspoon oregano, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper. Stir well to combine.
  4. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, then reduce heat to low, cover, and cook for 60-70 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce has thickened to your desired consistency.
  5. Taste and adjust seasonings as needed. Add a touch more cayenne for extra heat, or sugar to balance acidity.
  6. Once thickened, carefully ladle the chili sauce into sterilized jars, leaving about 1/2 inch of headspace. Seal tightly and process in a boiling water bath for 15 minutes (for safe home canning; research proper canning techniques if you are unfamiliar). If not canning, store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week.
