Chili Sauce

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

This is something that has to sit overnight. I do about 4 times this recipe:

6 quart basket of tomatoes-blanched and skinned in cooking pot and mush up with you hands;

Add 6 Cups celery and 4 Cups onions.

Sprinkle 1/2 cup pickling salt over ingredients and let sit overnight.

Next morning- drain as much of the liquid off as you can….the more the
better.

Add:
5 cups sugar
2 cups cider vinegar
3 Tbsp mustard seed
1/8 tsp cayenne pepper
Grind up 2 green peppers and add.

Heat and stir til it comes to a boil and simmer 15 minutes. Put it in jars
and seal it.

Mom’s Potato Salad Dressing

 

Cheryln’s Mom that is..   🙂

 

I’m not typically a fan of Miracle Whip or Mayonnaise, but for some reason I really like this stuff!!

 

3/4 Cup Miracle Whip

1/4 Cup vinegar

1/4 Cup Sugar

3 tablespoons mustard

salt and pepper

1/4 teaspoon paprika

 

You have to look at how much potatoe salad you have.

add enough miracle whip to be enough for the salad.

add between 1/4 and 1/2 cup of both sugar and vinegar to taste.

paprika is just for taste.. a couple of shakes
