Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 cups (diced) ripe tomatoes
- 2 cups ripe peaches, peeled and diced
- 1 cup pineapple chunks
- 1 cup red onion, finely chopped
- 1 cup red bell pepper, finely chopped
- 2 tablespoons jalapeño peppers, finely chopped
- 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup apple cider vinegar
- 0.75 cup brown sugar
- 0.5 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon ground allspice
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.125 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional)
Instructions
Prepare all the ingredients by dicing the tomatoes, peaches, pineapple, red onion, and red bell pepper. Finely chop the jalapeño peppers, grate the ginger, and mince the garlic.
In a large, heavy-bottomed pot, combine the diced tomatoes, peaches, pineapple, red onion, and red bell pepper.
Add the chopped jalapeño peppers, grated ginger, and minced garlic to the pot.
Pour in the apple cider vinegar and stir in the brown sugar, ground cinnamon, ground allspice, salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper (if using).
Place the pot over medium heat and bring the mixture to a gentle boil, stirring occasionally.
Reduce the heat to low and let the sauce simmer uncovered for 45 minutes, stirring frequently to prevent sticking.
After 45 minutes, the mixture should have thickened to a sauce-like consistency. Use a potato masher or immersion blender to break down the fruits and vegetables to your desired texture.
Taste the sauce and adjust the seasoning with additional salt or sugar if necessary.
Let the sauce cool slightly, then transfer it to clean jars or containers.
Store the fruited chili sauce in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks or process in a water bath canner for long-term storage.
