Chili Sauce

Apple Cake

This delectable Apple Cake has a slightly crunchy crust and a soft moist center that is loaded with chunks of sweet apple and pecans. It is perfectly spiced with cinnamon, ground cloves and nutmeg. It is lightly drizzled with an easy four ingredient caramel sauce. I make this cake several times each fall for bake sales, potlucks and family and friend get-togethers.

Easy Ratatouille

This easy ratatouille recipe is a classic summer French stew filled with vibrant, colourful and nutritious vegetables: tomatoes, zucchini and eggplant. It is a low-carb, gluten-free and vegan dish that can be made in one pan and served atop greens or grains, as a side to a main entrée, or all on its own.

This sounds just like the one my mom made also! My favorite way to use it is in bean soup—I know how that sounds, but it is very very good. Thanks for the memories!

This sounds like the recipe my mother made when I was a kid. Thanks for posting it. I’ve been looking to try to recreate what she made. My mom used to pour this over the top of meatloaf when it was partially baked. It would sink into the top of the meatloaf and sort of caramelize the surface with a rich tomato flavor. So good. We also ate her Chili Sauce with potatoes, scrambled eggs, hamburgers, etc. It was kind of a chunky, homemade version of ketchup.

nataleafromok- my mother always did a water bath canning with this. Between the tomatoes and the added vinegar it certainly is acidic enough to skip the pressure canning and not risk botulism. Not sure how long she did the water bath though. The Chili Sauce recipe in the Ball canning book says 15 min for 1/2 pint jars in water bath. That should work for this too.
