How to Make Tomato Butter Sweet Chili Sauce

  1. Peel and chop 2 lbs of ripe tomatoes. Add them to a large pot.
  2. Add 4 cups of white vinegar and let stand for 2-3 hours to draw out excess moisture.
  3. Bring to a boil and cook for 10 minutes. Reduce heat to a simmer and stir in 1 teaspoon of ground cloves, 1 teaspoon of ground allspice, 2 tablespoons of salt, and 1 tablespoon of dry mustard.
  4. Simmer for 1 hour. Then, stir in 3 lbs of brown sugar.
  5. Continue simmering for another hour. In a small bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup of cornstarch with 1/2 cup of cold water until smooth. Slowly pour the cornstarch slurry into the sauce, whisking constantly.
  6. Bring the sauce back to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 30 minutes more, or until the sauce has thickened to your desired consistency. Stir frequently to prevent sticking.
  7. Carefully ladle the hot sauce into sterilized jars, leaving 1/2 inch of headspace. Wipe the rims clean, seal, and process in a boiling water bath for 15 minutes to ensure safe preservation (or refrigerate if not canning).
