My grandmother made this chili sauce whenever she was about to run out. To the family, it was golden to receive a very small jar as a gift.

Blue Ribbon Recipe

Chili sauce is an underused condiment, in my mind, and I think this chili sauce recipe should be a staple in everyone's fridge. This recipe is a cross between a ketchup and a barbecue sauce. I kept going back for just "one more taste" - the flavors are that good. The nutmeg, ginger and curry spices are prevalent but not overwhelming. Apple cider vinegar adds a bit of tang. This sauce is not spicy so if you're looking for a kick add a bit more tabasco. It's delicious!
