A lovely sweet, but spicy sauce for use on meats, pies and is even nice and tasty on bread and butter. - mrssal007

Ingredients

6 tomatoes large ripe
2 brown onions roughly chopped
2 red capsicums deseeded peeled
4 long red chillies thinly sliced
6 red bird's eye chillis thinly sliced
1 cup sugar
2 tbs tomato paste
1 pinch salt and pepper *to taste
1/2 cup water

Method

Step 1

Peel the tomatoes, cut into quarters and cut out the hard stalk piece.
Step 2

Place the tomato, capsicum, chillies and chilli seeds into a large saucepan and slowly bring to the boil. If it is not liquid enough, add water to make it runny.
Step 3

Boil, covered, for approximately 1 hour making sure the ingredients don't burn on the bottom of the pan.
Step 4

Blend the mixture in the saucepan while still hot with a stick blender. This mixture should be quite runny.
Step 5

Add the sugar and stir to dissolve. Reduce heat to a slight simmer, then add the tomato paste, salt and pepper. Stir to mix in.
Step 6

Simmer for 1½ to 2 hours, stirring occasionally to keep the mixture from sticking to the bottom. The consistency by this time should resemble tomato sauce or ketchup.
Step 7

Bottle into sterile sauce bottles and cap to seal.
